Hello there!
I have finished one read through of the draft and it largely holds up. I can see a lot of it needs to be cut. I needed to write it, because I needed to know, but it just feels cluttered as is, so I have cut a bunch and am doing a second read through to get a clearer idea of what I need to expand and fill in.
I am happy with the progress this story has made and I am having a blast figuring out how to edit a book.
I think I am going to do a little writing while I complete the second read through. Rewriting scenes and writing new scenes I see are needed.
Very exciting.
Just for fun, here’s a line I liked on the reread:
Aaron did his best to suppress a frown as he realized he was going to get another in depth lesson on swords without being allowed to weld one.
Thanks for reading!
