Hello Writer

This month, we are wrapping it all up. In 2023, we focused on building habits, beating procrastination and improving discipline. In 2024, we worked on our novels and improved our craft. This year, we are taking a closer look at editing, specifically self-editing. It is an essential skill every writer needs to master, but man, being objective and cutting down your own work is hard.

Along with a short editing lesson, you will also receive your monthly prompts as usual. Editing is definitely second-draft stuff. Use the prompts to free write, THEN try to apply the editing suggestions. This is optional.

If this is your first time using prompts, you can learn more about freewriting here.

Editing Checklist

Our first post was about when to edit. Once you have fixed the story stuff, it’s time to move down to the line level. This is a short list that will help you tackle the most basic elements.

Putting it all together:

o   Is this a first or second draft? We only edit after we’ve written.
o   Evaluate your sentences.
o   Check sentence length.
o   Find and evaluate adverbs.
o   Have you used strong verbs?
o   Find and evaluate adjectives.
o   Have you used specific nouns?
o   Find and evaluate modifiers, qualifiers and intensifiers.
o   Check and evaluate punctuation.
o   Check spelling.
o   Check style.

Homework

Use the prompt to freewrite. Once you are done with the first draft, use this list to edit your work.
