Editing, Oh My

[przed]

I'm determined to finally get my Pros novel, Exile, posted by this weekend. But because I am clearly far too picky/insane, I'm giving it one last read through. 63,000 words down. 19,000 to go.

And as many times as I've gone through it, I'm still finding the odd thing to tweak.

::sigh::

Looking forward to it anyway. Stop tweaking - there comes a point where tweaking is a bit like biting your nails and anyway just produces more typos.

Pure curiosity - why aren't you using this as your BB contribution for this year?

I would not have looked at it again, except that I needed to go through and check that the formatting was okay. And since that was going to take looking at every page, I couldn't resist doing a read through at the same time. But this is definitely it. After this read through, I shall never tweak this story again.

The BB is meant to be for stories not published anywhere before. Since this was out in zine format, that disqualifies it. But on the positive side, I'm now making good progress with the story I have earmarked for the BB. And not before time.

Ah! I hadn't realised it was a zine. All the more reason for not tweaking - it's already been tweaked within an inch of its life. Hope it's going on AO3 for downloading for Kindle!! *g*

It has indeed been tweaked to within an inch of its life. Which didn't stop me tweaking it some more. ::headdesk::

And yes, it will be up on AO3 soon. Possibly even tonight!
