Well, I’ve got 3 editing tips for you!
If you’ve read any of my posts you know that I’m a bit weak when it comes to self-editing. Always searching for a new tool, new tip or a better way to edit my writing.
Should I ever find a shortcut for fixing my mixed up tenses, I’ll be over the moon happy.
Writing involves way too much DIY editing. So I rely on several editing programs, but no program is a substitute for a great hands on tip by a successful author.
Love, love, love when I learn something new that helps me!
Thanks to Rachel Carrera, Novelist for requesting editing tips and to Kristina Stanley for her terrific tips.
I really liked Kristina’s suggestion to keep a spreadsheet to track things like scene beginnings.
Scene beginnings! Never thought of that! Thanks Kristina.

Good tips. I already had a spreadsheet, but I’m adding those to it.

I haven’t gone the spread sheet route yet, but I’m thinking about it. This gave me some ideas I hadn’t thought of.
