Edits and Stuff

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.

Oh, and if you’re hungry for a little snack, Ollie’s Jock is still available to tide you off!
