Then the next wave is something else. So on and so forth. I can say it was much more organized in the beginning, and became blurrier as I went, as to what I'd be editing. Good luck with it all!Shannon Lawrencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-64552102006068169822011-08-29T17:29:36.407-04:002011-08-29T17:29:36.407-04:00I think you've got it covered.As for me, I sta...I think you've got it covered.<br><br>As for me, I start by going through each chapter.

Me, I just read it through a few times, chapter by chapter, and while I try to keep an eye out for one specific thing during each read-through, I usually end up noticing something different (like I'll be looking out for pacing and I'll notice an adverb or a grammar mistake). Good luck with the editing process. :-)Crystalhttp://littlebundleofcontradictions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-16748804144657831482011-08-28T23:18:52.818-04:002011-08-28T23:18:52.818-04:00Wow, 25.
