I am a terrible blogger. I have found this out through hard work and looking at the amount of days piling up between my last post and now. I AM SO SORRY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING (if any of you are out there in the world!) AND I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN. Or, at least, not for nearly two months...
Alright, so let's dive in to what I'm updating you on today.
Since December 1, 2014 (BTW: Happy New Year everybody! And Happy Holidays! I know it's very belated, but who cares...) I have found that my "Guide to Editing a Book" is horribly wrong, and that needs to be rectified. The bones are correct, yes, but I had no idea what I was talking about then, and probably not even now. If you'll remember from my first post, I am a freshman in high school. Do the math...
Anyways, the guide to editing a book does not exist, only interpretations exist. And for me, my interpretation comes from a lovely author named...Susan Dennard. If you go to her website, and go under her "For Writers" section, you'll find she has nearly everything you can imagine on how to plan for a book, write a book, revise a book, etc. And I am going to be using her guide to revising books, because I cannot find one of my own. I won't put it out on here (firstly because I don't want to get in trouble with anyone) but here's the link to her website: http://susandennard.com
Do with it what you will.
My basic plan of action for revising my book, is I am going to follow the detailed steps Susan Dennard has supplied on her website, and I am going to get it done...I am going to revise The Last Dragomir. And ever since I finished writing it two (almost three) months ago, I already have things I know I want to fix in it...such as the fact that the climactic scene I did in under an hour on the 27 of November really sucks. And the ending has no foreshadowing towards it and the...well, never mind. Some things I need to leave up to the imagination, so that none of y'all will steal my story! (And I hope none of you will, because that would really suck).
That's it for tonight.
