Today I went through all the grammar and spelling errors, and quickly corrected them. Starting with Chapter 1, I read the manuscript through line by line and edited any lines that sounded weird or didn't make sense. I don't know why, but I always laugh when I'm editing sex scenes. So childish. Haha!
I edited the first 4 chapters while listening to a playlist of old and more recent songs. When I was writing, I usually listened to an audio book, unless I was sick of it. I corrected a few sentences that seemed odd and any spelling mistakes that were missed by the autocorrect. In total, I edited about 10 pages.
I'm starting to feel more positive about it. I'll leave it here for now and continue again tomorrow. Good Night!
I'm a writer who loves spinning spooky takes, crime fiction and whatever else grabs my attention.

I Finished!
Yesterday evening, I finished writing my book! I reached 74.065 words and it took me almost exactly 6 months from start to finish. I feel so good and about to start editing it. I honestly cannot wait to bring it into shape.
Today's post is a short one but I've decided to blog every day about my editing and share with you what I have gone through, good and bad.
You know what, right now I could really do with some chocolate. I've had enough chocolate today, so I'm not having anymore. Costa's hot chocolate is SO good! :) I'm so loving the penguin cups. I'll post my first editing blog later tonight.
