Editing Day 3

   Today I edited 23 pages. Not as many pages as I'd hoped to do. I straightened out a couple of smaller plots and clarified them. The word count so far is 74,316.

   I did some research on Swedish royalty because I was trying to figure out what one of the main character's maiden name is. It was really interesting. Maria Eleanora of Brandenberg looks very similar to her. Evangeline Brandenberg could have been Maria Eleanora of Brandenberg in a previous life time. She's a vampire with an interesting past. I think I'll explore that in my second book in the series.



Here's a picture of her.

   Her married name is Nightingale. She was married to a horrendous man because her father wanted to take a position in the Swedish royal treasury. She escaped on a warship pretending to be a sailor.
I'm not going to say any more!

   I will have more done tomorrow and can't wait to share some information about one of the other characters in the book.
Good Night! xxx :)

Editing Day 2

   Today I really enjoyed editing the manuscript and was looking forward to it all day. It was fun and I did about 11 pages.

   I corrected spelling mistakes, added descriptions and made paragraphs make sense. The total word count is 74, 149.

   I listened to an audio book called A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, one of my favourite authors. It's a part of a series of books called The All Souls Trilogy.

   I have a long day of editing tomorrow and I can not wait! I'll also compose a list of agents that I'll be submitting my manuscript to and use the Writers and Artists book. In my next blog, I'll share what I found useful from it and add the list at the end of the blog.

   Good night! xx :)
