At any rate, edits are going well when I'm actually there to do them. Good luck with the revisions for your own novel! :) Bonnee Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513268628209169538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-10657451630966983432014-07-03T00:13:23.089+10:002014-07-03T00:13:23.089+10:00Good luck with the current issue of WORDLY.

Take your time for editing and revisions. Most literary agents recommen to take a break from your mansucript and come back withe fresh eyes and new ideas how to make it better. I finished the first draft of my third (and proabbly last) novel at 54K words and now heading for many months of revisions. Welcome back to the university next week. Time is flying.

But yes, it's all tacked up on my walls, there's photos of it a few entries back (Editing and the God Complex). I think it's a great way of editing!

I'm lucky to have my own little space to stick everything to my walls, although I've gotten a bit nervous having other people in my room. Good luck with what's left of your revisions!

I am in the throes of revision myself, almost 2/3 done with the rewriting. I do not have 360 pages stuck up on my wall; my wife would not be happy (and I would be paranoid about unauthorized eyes). Enjoy the rest of your break, and I hope you get good news about the journal.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-52947066437892934742014-07-01T17:01:32.238+10:002014-07-01T17:01:32.238+10:00Sounds like you've been using your time away f...Sounds like you've been using your time away from editing your manuscript wisely! I really wanted to submit something for the awkward edition of Wordly but I just lost track of time and procrastinated my life away. Lately though I've been consolidating some ideas for future writing projects which I'm excited about! I'm definitely keen to start working towards getting something published in a journal some day soon (hopefully) but first I've got to just sit my butt down and start!Day Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05666870093398340691noreply@blogger.com
