Editing the bloody book, damnit.

Am I enthused to be editing? Nah, not really. But it has to be done, alas, and tonight is the night that I rework the opening chapters for my next round of queries.

This would be draft five.... There is always something more that can be polished.

I'm thinking I may start recording myself reading a chapter at a time so I can sit back and listen to it...always good to get a fresh perspective. I've been pondering posting the read-alouds online somewhere, but I'm not sure if I wanna. Could be a cool way to share the story and maybe get some sort of audience built....or could be inviting plagiarism or criticism of a work in progress.... Thoughts? Feelings? Confessions?

oh gahh, that may be it. i drank A LOT of beer. and one redheaded slut, and a shot of jager (post bar fight). and a bunch of five hour energy. i usually drink beer because i am SUCH a light weight and liquor just makes me super drunk and sick. i may have to test the hangover theory though!

i wish i knew the concept of drinking alcohol slowly. luckily i hold my alcohol well and don't get stupid or start puking everwhere, but it's really hard for me to drink slowly. except when i've reached the point of no return haha.

Damn, that is an amazing pic. Do you always edit in the nude and have someone photograph it? biggrin

I would probably hold off on posting anything until you were done. I, too, would be worried about plagiarism, not to mention garden variety interweb trolls and asshats with nothing better to do than shred someone's work.

I think you might well be inviting plagiarism and (non-constructive) criticism by posting online unless it was in a relatively closed forum amongst a few trusted folk. Which brings me to my next point - if you want to run anything by me, I'm more than happy to read and give honest feedback.

In other news, you have a dangerously beautiful body.

In the past I have found that actually reading things out loud does give me a different perspective on the words, what they mean and how they relate to each other. Ideally you would go through the entire book that way but it would also take a considerable amount of time - if you've got the time then go for it, otherwise I would stick to the chapters most in need of intense editing.


I'd be cautions about posting anything relating to specifics of the book at this point since it's still in draft form and hasn't yet got a copyright or any sorts of other protections on it. Sharing some of the less critical parts of the book might be worth considering - using your judgement to keep the really good parts that could potentially be plagiarized out.
