A New Year, A New Chance
Hello, everyone! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying the new year!
With the new year comes a new chance to finish old projects or to start new ones. For me, one of the biggest things I want to accomplish this year is to get one of my novels ready for publication. This is a novel that I started on over six years ago and have made several attempts at editing. Every time before, I only got part way through the editing process before I gave up or was distracted by other things. But this year will be different. Why? This blog! My hope is that by sharing my progress with you, and in giving tips and ideas as I am editing that we both might be inspired to work on our novels.
One of the first things I’m going to look at as I edit my novel is to break it down into the different scenes. As I go through the scenes, I’ll be looking at what I like about the scene and what I think needs work. Since I do have a revision attempt or two, I’ll take notes on those and look at some feedback I have on those revisions. I will be looking for scenes that need to be added and scenes that need to be cut or changed.
Good luck with your revisions and the projects you have planned for this year!

Good luck. This is my year for finishing, editing, self-publishing. And hoping that I have the strength to resist starting anything new until some of that is done.

Thanks, Catana. Good luck to you as well. I’m not planning on going the SP route with this particular work, but I have others that I don’t think aren’t quite as good that I might go that way if I ever get to them.
