They Say the First Round is the Hardest (Man, I hope they're right!)

Got my first round of edits. \o/

I’m not going to lie. They were painful to look at. So many stupid mistakes, so many embarrassing typos and repetitions, so many major rewrites to do and so very many plot holes needing to be filled

From what I've heard from writers it's always pretty terrible.

Hi. I was actually in your journal for a different reason (your Trace review) when I saw this post and wondered how it was all going. It's been a while since I saw a publishing update.

I admire that you took the time to wallow, accept, and look for the truth and kindness in the suggestions before you blogged about it.

Awww! Have you read Trace? I wish I had time to read it again!

I'm so behind at everything, but I really need to update this blog! And since I FINALLY sent back the edited manuscript (!!!!!) I should have time!

Such a fascinating process!
