Writing "The Grate"
Hello, and welcome to my blog.
Today, I would like to tell you about my process for writing "The Grate".
It started as two separate ideas, mainly my life and my political and religious views. When I started writing, I couldn't stop. I have this inclination to keep going, so it is hard to stop when I feel I need to take a break.
Writing the book took a few months, and it wasn't easy to get through the editing stage. Not being very keen on acknowledging mistakes, it was hard to get started on this stage, but it was important to me to stick it out. I acknowledged where I could do better, and I tried. I did a total of 4 edits. The first for content, the second for grammar, the third for general trim size, margins, etc. And the fourth was after I received my proof. I found myself even more nervous editing my proof, but it was something that had to be done. I know it may not be perfect, but I am pleased with how it turned out.
From that point on, with the help of the print company, I was able to create my product. And I love it. I really hope that you do, too.
