Still Revising

After line edits and manuscript comments have been received, I am working changes into the novel. They all take time as I am mainly using them to strengthen my writing not just the novel. For each edit, I try to understand the why and develop an ear for hearing it or an eye for catching it.

My files marked RAC tell me the files are revisions after comments. So far most of the line edits repeat themselves. Breaking up blocks of dialogue with descriptive details and identification tags is something I need to do more often. Another frequent error of mine is the use of words like certainly, only, and just. Commas, lack of and too many, are also a problem.

The education continues. Finished chapter 15 and have ten more to go.
