Consider if you will, changing all the I's me's and my's to he's and his and him's.

I've spent the time today I've not been on myLot either playing with Ace or working on my 8th book. I wrote the book in first person and have decided to rewrite in in third person to make it consistent with the other Buzby Beach books.
This change entails finding every non-dialogue first person reference in the manuscript and deciding if it should be replaced with the character's name, his name in possessive form, or an appropriate pronoun.
On the plus side, undertaking this monumental task is forcing me to read every line of the book more carefully than I might otherwise. Thus, I'm able to fill in plot holes, capture plot bunnies, and generally fix things I didn't know were broken.
Have you had a productive day, or have you had a day of rest?

Oh .... Yes I have did that before, not for my book but for a story, blogging. Time consuming for sure.
