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 :)
I'm a writer who loves spinning spooky takes, crime fiction and whatever else grabs my attention.

Editing Day 1
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!
