Editing my first book was probably one of the hardest things I’ve done mentally for a long while. After rearranging the content of the book three or four times I was sick of the sight of it!
‘Know your book inside and out before approaching anyone with it!’
How can you not know it inside and out when you have read the bloody thing five times! Frustration started to creep in and I still needed to tackle the grammar and punctuation. Arguments with the proofing tool could go on for hours! Never mind saving expletives for dramatic effect. I was aiming them all directly at my stilted reflection in the laptop.
