Editing Adrian two

Hello out there,

Got my manuscript back again and I realized I made a huge mistake. I was supposed to do a line edit before sending it off to my editor. I forgot to do that so I’m going to have to pay for another copy edit. Mistakes happen and I’m learning to roll with those.

As for how my book is doing. The line edit I started is going well. I’ve been reading it out loud on twitch.tv. It’s been a really great way for me to find those lines that don’t sound right and fix them.

My editor decided to help me out and converted my prologue to 3rd person on a separate document.

I got a lot of feedback about the confusion people were having while reading Adrian. They were having a problem figuring out if the main character was the same character from the prologue. Now that the Prologue is in 3rd person it helps separate the main character from the other character. It just makes more sense to do it that way.

I took my editors suggestions and implemented them. Then I went through and removed/added stuff that I liked/didn’t like.

Last night I finished doing the same thing to the Epilogue.

I was honestly afraid to change them that much because I’m not really comfortable with writing in 3rd person. I’m happy that I stepped up and did it though.

Other than that I’ve been working on Adrianne the second book. Its going slower than I wanted it to go but I am mainly focusing on my first book and getting it ready to share with the world.

It doesn’t help that I have been having some tooth pain and a ton of Dr’s appointments. Those are all going to be done soon enough so I’ll be looking forward to that.

Thank you all for putting up with the prolonged Blog absence. I’m going to finish up the line edit soon and then do a lighter edit. After those I’ll move my focus back to this blog and maybe I’ll toss another excerpt in between.

I hope your day is going wonderfully!
Katherine
