The Process
Hmm.
It's true what they say - the best thing to do when editing is to sit the manuscript aside for a couple of months then come back to it. I basically did that, although not voluntarily, and wow it was eye opening.
I think I have improved quite a bit since I wrote afterlife book 1. And that means more editing, but my beautiful beta reader is on it. My voice comes out more in the prose, and hell, I think I am just better at painting a decent scene than I was then. It wasn't that long ago.
So I say again, thank GOD for my beta reader. I think I should take her out to dinner (again).
Writing is an ever evolving craft I find. I don't know if that is true for all writers, but it has been for me so far.
