Final edits for my M/M Goodreads 'Love Has No Boundaries' submission
I want to send out the highest of freaking fives to the lovely people in the M/M group who have the distinct pleasure (or not) to do edits on all the LHNB stories. I think I heard there were something like 150+ story prompts? The word count was completely up to the author of those stories, so bless their hearts for wading through all of it.
I had a truly lovely gal read over my story. I've never had an 'official' editor (obviously because I am not published) BUT I've come to a few conclusions about the editing process.
1. Great editing has the ability to turn a soggy shit sandwich into something in which one might actually enjoy.
2. The comma is my nemesis. I am liberal with it. I wield it like I'm fucking Luke Skywalker and its my life saving light sabre. Sadly, much like Luke in the beginning, I suck and am getting zapped in the ass a lot because of it.
3.There are things those editors saw that I would never have seen in a million years. It was never anything drastic, but the impact was huge.
This entire process has been a really enjoyable one for me. I can't wait till it comes out if for no other reason than I'll feel like it's finally complete!
For now, I'm off to chase other plot bunnies.
Reece out.
