adonnchaidSo, about that editing stuff...*g*
Yeah, once we get something written, we know that there's the next step, the editing and proof-reading and all the other joyous work to make a story ready for prime time, as it were.
Personally, I've been reading some books on writing, and one on editing. But a friend of mine amused me today by sending along this link: http://tombird.com/ And please note, I am NOT posting this as a recommendation. I'm posting it as an amusement, since, as it says on the home page, if you sign up right away, you can save $500! Which means, of course, that it costs much more than that to let this person I've never heard of tell me how to write a publishable book.
I think I'll stick to my methods -- reading about writing, reading actual writing, reading about editing, and spending much less than even the savings touted on that site, since paperbacks, even trade paperbacks, cost less than $20 each, and if I'm lucky, the library will loan me what I want to read.
