I am at about 60% of my fourth thorough edit now and hopefully it will be my last.

I keep thinking of things to change or add as I go and then I have to go through and change everything that effected.

It's hard to know when it's done, when to stop editing. I figure if there's anything I've missed in four edits I'm just not seeing it and hopefully my beta readers will catch it.

I finished. :) This one gave me troubles. My characters keep misbehaving and I tried to make my plot something it wasn't, but it all turned out in the end.

I used to be into playstation, but now I spend all my free time writing. :) I have more fun and I have something to show for it in the end. (Not to mention it's cheaper)

My novel is a work in progress called Woven Magic. I named it after the unique aspect of my book, how my magic works. I'm terrible at naming things and it took me forever to find a title that I liked, then it just came to me. :)

I'd rather read about the book than watch a trailer personally. I think the key to a good book trailer is not to be too hokey with the special effects such as zoom-ins and pans.

I often read other writer's blogs. I'm interested in the different ways that people write, and sometimes they give good advice that I hadn't thought about before.

Answered your survey. List only five fandoms... toughest question there.

I only planned to write one book, but then I had too many ideas to fit in one, so I decided on a trilogy. Now I'm fairly certain it will take at least five books to use all the adventures I have planned and I have ideas for prequels too. haha!

Even Rincewind had fun adventures. (Discworld's most useless Wizzard.)

I'd live anywhere I got magic or really cool super powers.

I'm not sure how many books I could write in a year, because I just started writing seriously. It takes me about three months to write a book, but it's taking forever to get it edited. I'm hoping once I get the hang of things it will go faster.

I too like all mythological creatures, but I prefer the ones that aren't as commonplace, and dragons. :)

Benedict Cumberbatch, because he has such a cool voice, plus then all his fans would buy my book. ;)

The online quizzes always put me into Slytherin, but I think I'm more of a Ravenclaw.

I like epilogues, because I feel like I'm getting something extra at the end, but I'm not a fan of prologues. They're usually boring or hard to understand, delaying me from getting to the story.

I like this idea too. I've been really stressing about my first sentence.

Book Title: Woven Magic
Chapter One: It's not a secret that I’m different, but no one knows just how different, because they don’t know about my magical threads.

I'm participating for the first time this year. I only have a very rough idea of what I'll write, but that's the way I usually do it. Good luck everyone.

I added everyone to my buddies. :)

The nit-picky part of editing, like sentence starts and overused words, it's too analytical for me and I have to force myself to work.
