Editing

Working on editing the novel. Anxious to get it done. At the rate I have been going I figured it would take me until June to get it finished. Tried doing three chapters at a time. Then worked all the way through every chapter opening up an edit file with the first pass edit. Story flow, repetition of back story, and name changes became easier to spot, but I didn't cut and change as well. 

Now I am putting in more work periods doing a pass of one chapter at each. Working in groups of three chapters to allow more time between passes of the same chapter. I expect at least ten passes and probably a dozen or more for each. It'll take me about the same time to finish one chapter but will finish three in that time. I hope.
