With the final edit of Reason complete I went to work on the new chapters I wrote for Crusade. There are 50 pages and, based on my recent work, I presumed it would take all morning for the edit. This afternoon I needed to pop out for the last of the Christmas shopping and I'm off in a few minutes to pick up my little girl. My plan was to finish the edit and take it with me to work on once she was asleep.
I actually had the edit done by 11.30 and all the amendments done by lunch. I was back by 3.00 pm so I've spent the last hour printing off Crusade for it's final edit. I have the first 50 pages in my bag to work on later.
I could not believe how little I needed to amend the new stuff. I've been implementing everything I've learned over the last six months into my writing. It's a lot cleaner now and needs less polish. How much of that is rose tinted glasses syndrome, I couldn't honestly tell you.
I do feel very good about it all though.
P.S. I spelt syndrome right on the first go. Cool!
