For me editing of all types (line, content, whatever)is not an afterthought, but an integral part of the process--often what I later think are some of the best parts, arrived there during the editing process.<br /><br />As for beginnings and endings, I have the ending in my mind, first, and am heading there from even the preface. So agree with what Jackie said, "Having the ending fitting the opening and vice versa is key, I think."M.M.

The results are always worth the effort. As for doing the outline, in the class I'm teaching at the Woman's Club, I mention that you can do the outline after you do the writing. It is just a matter of listing all the stops along your character's journey. You can see if you have too many highs in a row, or perhaps an unneeded stop. It also makes a terrific timeline so you don't cram too much in a 24-hour day.

I have over a million and a half words in print and no matter how much editing, professional as well as myself doing it, there are errors. But some people don't want to make even the slightest effort. I go over my work a dozen times because I know I should. I owe it to my readers and even to myself because I want to turn out a good product.

But seriously, I often hear writers complain about revisions, as if once they've finished their first draft they don't want to bother with it any more. No surprise their work tends to be weak compared to writers who put in the effort to get their stories as close to perfect as possible. It's wine, not words, that improve with age - and only good wine at that.Miko Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877203657513631557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628814011025215047.post-14209629886291546022016-04-13T17:25:54.327-07:002016-04-13T17:25:54.327-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Miko Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877203657513631557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628814011025215047.post-49325955348405507932016-04-13T16:39:13.805-07:002016-04-13T16:39:13.805-07:00Yep....
