The Girls

  

I recently finished reading the book The Girls by Emma Cline.

I found it dreamy, heady and very human. The words swept me away into the mind of Evie Boyd as she got carried away and entranced by the girls at the ranch and Russell, the centre of everyone's attention. Sex, drugs and incense in the summer of 1969, the ranch was buzzing with rumors. Under the blazing California sun, things were not as they seemed and she starts to feel uncomfortable.    

It starts a little slow, but keep going and you'll find yourself sucked in.

Have an amazing day. xxx

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!
