Hi All
This having an editor stuff is wonderful! At first I felt like a flipping moron because I would get a chapter of a story back and it would have at least one correction on every stinking page.
After I got through the initial shock and embarrassment of how poorly I was writing, I went back and rewrote several of my older short stories using the new skills I learned. I liked the way they read after the edits.
So, I said all that so I could say this.
I have a story in the works called "Friends and Family" and I really put all of my new skills into it. It is still a typical WriterMick story with some laughs and tears and some 'I can't believe he did that'. Now when I send a chapter to my editor, I get complements! I'm still making mistakes, mostly with those pesky comma's and a few fat finger spelling errors.
Now the big question is when to begin posting it. There are 26 chapters and 9 have been edited. I want to post a chapter a week like I do with "The Strawberry Patch" so what do you think? Should I start it now? Wait until it is all edited? Keep it hidden until "The Strawberry Patch: Book 3" is done?
Let me know what you think and I'll see if the editor can live with the pressure of it!
