Deadline to Revise Book 2
I'm working away on making final changes to book 2 of the Ready For Love series -- Ready To Live -- to get to my editor by Nov. 11th. Currently I'm listening to the latest draft which is a great way to find errors. Unfortunately, while listening recently to book 1, Ready To Play, I found a few that I need to go and fix. So much for hiring a proofreader. :-(
Next up in revisions will be going through and rewriting sentences that use my most overused words such as "get" or "I know/I feel/etc." and the one I have the hardest time removing -- "just." :/
I also need to go through and make sure I'm not starting every sentence the same way -- I, He, She...
The hardest revisions I think (other than plot holes which have been fixed) will be going through the sex scenes and making sure it's more about emotions and sensations than describing whose hands and limbs are where so that a reader knows exactly who is doing what. ;-)
Oh, yes, and let's not forget the 2 scenes where I inserted a placeholder -- a love scene and a football game scene.
Yikes! I need to get back to work!
