Getting to the End!
Update on the current rewrite of the 3rd book in the Heart's desire Soul Destroyed sci-fi romance!
On the 2nd last round of edits.
1st round finished was the major re-write with scene changes, deletions & addits, along with grammar and spelling fixes. (Fixes? Probably just blew that grammar right out of the water then but...gotta live on the edge sometimes, baby!)
Now on the 2nd round, which is looking for missed plot holes, as well as some rewording of sentences and even deletion of words/phrases not needed - basically getting rid of useless twaddle. (Yes, I said 'twaddle'. Actually, I've become quite fond of that word the last few days. TWADDLE! Yep, sounds just as good now as it did seconds ago and yesterday and the day before!)
This round is quicker, as it's mainly reading and fixing here and there.
3rd & FINAL round I hope to start tomorrow, and this entails last checks before releasing this baby out onto the unsuspecting world!
So have 3 days off work, got the music playing softly, flask of hot coffee, and I'm going to hit the keyboard again. Working hard, people, working hard to get this done ASAP.
Okay - well OKAY! Yes, I admit I DID get diverted by watching cat videos on YouTube, but I'm back to work on this manuscript right now, I promise. ;-)
Oohh - one last thing - check out the totally AWESOME cover on my website - www.angelaverdenius.com! No blurb as yet, but the cover - thank you to cover artist Melody Simmons once again!
