When I first set out to write this book I dreaded this stage in the process. Editing and revising. It just didn’t sound like much fun at all. Periods, commas, checking spelling, sentence formatting–it all seemed so clinical, so uncreative.
Yet how wrong I was! I am actually enjoying this stage in the writing process so much more than I thought. As I polish and prepare each chapter before sending it off to my editor, I enjoy going over those words again, making the story richer, better. Then, when I receive the chapters back I am often amazed by how she helps me see a simpler or cleaner way of saying something. I am now learning so much about grammar and punctuation, which only helps make my writing better and crisper.
Right now she just sent back chapter 10 and I’m actually eager to make the changes, wrestle with the best way to say what I want to say and clean it up. I feel so much better about each chapter after its been edited and revised.
I am still looking at Summer of this year for publishing the book, which is extremely exciting.
As always, keep me and my writing project in your prayers!
Buy the Book!
