#AmRevising (Part One)

After breathing a huge sigh of relief as I finished the first draft of ‘One Last Death’ last week, I finished the first read through yesterday.

And before you say it, I know you are supposed to wait a while, but I was keen to get started.I was pleased to discover that some parts were impressive, but there were several holes in the plot that would have to be addressed.

Now I love to edit and proof read, probably my schoolteacher head asserting itself, and usually just wade through from the beginning to the end.

This time though, I thought I would do it a little differently. As there are four, very different characters in ‘One Last Death’, I have separated all of their chapters and will concentrate on them one at a time. When I am satisfied that their stories and plotlines are suitably finished and complete, I will reassemble the book, ready for the third draft.
Not sure of the merit of this, never having done it this way before, but I am confident of my instincts and determined to see if it works.


See you next week for Part Two, to see if it’s working…
