Will the edits ever end?!


Will the editing ever end?! Probably not—that’s the best answer I have at this exact moment!

Seriously, my current manuscript is a never-ending mess of edits. At least that’s what it feels like to me. Why? Because I can’t stop! I told myself there’s just not enough drama…I need more drama. And so, drama added. Next, (after reading my 52,000 words five times!) I figure my male POV isn’t ‘male’ enough. So, I became a seventeen year old boy every time I sat at my computer! That was interesting! Now, I’m off to add sensory details! See what I’m saying here…IT NEVER ENDS!!

Okay, I’m being dramatic. It will end, eventually, I suppose. But for now, I’m obsessed and nothing will keep me from making my story better! Because one day, it will be finished…oh, yes it will! (Unless I find something else I want to change!)

Like a good blogger (I’m totally not), I’ve included some helpful links for editing! Enjoy!
