Homestretch on line edits

Applying the edits, I should say. I make the markup front to back, and then the actual application back to front, mostly because the first chapter had the most work, IMO. And it helped with planting things in the beginning that “bloom” in the end.

Giller?

Around this time, they announce the Giller award winner. I recently learned that it pays out WAY more than Pulitzer ($100,000 CAD vs $15,000 USD), for fiction at least. Go Canada!

Editing’s end in sight

Only a few chapters to go! Then comes the not-so-simple part of applying the edits. Then the cover. AND I’d like to get HM ep2 published, but half of it is still feedback-less… so it’d be nice to have it looked at. There’s a Wattpad contest deadline fast approaching that […]
