Edits and Stuff
Posted by Nicole Forcine
I’ve realized that my method of editing my own stuff is super weird. I opened Little Earthquakes up and started going through it with changes tracked.
It has been months since I looked at it, and oh boy did it need work. Words I didn’t realize I’d fucked up, entire sentences that needed switching around. It wasn’t as pretty as I thought it would be.
So, new policy at Casa de Forcine; finish a draft, edit it to the best of my ability, then sit on it for a month. Maybe two.
