The Last Days of Editing
As the deadline on another novel approaches, a writer
spends their days reading the story that has been spilling from their mind for
the past months, years, sometimes decades. Every sentence is read over dozens
of times, ensuring that each word and punctuation mark is in its place. Phrases
are reworked, removed, relocated, and replaced until every part is where it
should be, like a black and white, 50,000 plus word and 200 plus page puzzle. A
result of hours spent before a computer screen writing and researching, car
rides day dreaming, and nights thinking about the story until the writer falls asleep.
The manuscript is polished until it no longer feels like a jumble of odd
sayings and random thoughts, but is one cohesive book, ready for readers to lose
themselves in.
All The Future
Holds has gone through this rigorous processes. I’ve done my best and hope
that I have put together the novel that the Lord has wanted me to, as well as
one that you all will enjoy. I feel happy with what I have written.
