Three Chapters Edited, More to Come

Together for Christmas Ranking

I've been working on Together for Christmas for about a month now. I have nine chapters and a prologue which are doing well. I love the flow of it but I'm not happy with the male character. With that, I went back to start editing some. I got the first three done and hopefully if things keep going the way are, I'll be able to fix some more of it. I really need to share it across the platforms again. I only share on Facebook and Twitter but it works. I'm excited to keep going and the goal is still the same. The goal is to finish this one before Christmas. I haven't finished any of the other stories yet but this one seems to be capturing my attention. I think I might actually be able to do this.

Best of luck to you in getting it all done. One thing about writing is knowing when to stop editing. Most writers set a limit since of course we are most critical of our own work, and might edit to our last breath. lol

lol I do that often. Right now this is the first edit and it's more to try and figure out where I turned my one character into a blah character.

@JordanLader Usually I will do a mass first edit, then the second and (if I get to a third) are much less strenuous. I rarely go beyond that. But definitely, fixing a character is a huge thing, especially considering how important characters are to carrying out the story line.

@porwest My goal is to finish the story before I edit unless there's something that I missed or need to fix that's major

Good luck with your novel. Will you be publishing it via Amazon Kindle ?

I don't know. If I can finish it, my first thought was Harlequin. It's the first time I've actually tried to meet a word count and it's harder than it sounds.
