News & Updates Till Death Do Us Party

So… How Did That Editing Go, Anyway?

As he finishes his editing of the first draft of his debut novel, one man discusses his thoughts on the project and the changes made to his work.

An Epilogue—Or, What are My Next Steps?

As I noted way back at the beginning of this article—around two and a half thousand words ago, give or take—I have rewritten chapters one to fourteen, inclusive.

The obvious next step is for me to jump into chapter fifteen, edit it, move on to chapter sixteen, and repeat until I have made it through to chapter thirty (because, as mentioned above, I will be adding a brand spanking new chapter).

While it seems like I’m hurtling towards the end, I’m not. Following this, I’ll have another pass, editing and rewriting once more, from the very beginning, to make sure everything makes sense and connects, and possibly make some decisions about the parts of the book that are concerning me.

And then…it will be time for the third draft. Hopefully by that point, it will somewhat resemble the final product. If I’m lucky, that is.

And one last thing before a sign off, and that’s once again pushing my mailing list on you. Click here to sign-up. It’s a simple process, which only involves clicking the link I handily provided just there, entering your email address, and clicking a button. For such a minimal effort, you’ll get a monthly newsletter, rather than countless pieces of spam, which will let you know about anything you might have missed from the past month, as well as an update about the previous month. And I will also be including a snippet from Till Death Do Us Party—but please remember this is in the drafting stage, and what you see might not be the same (or even appear) in the final book. What an exciting way to follow the genesis of my book!

TTFN,
