I finished the third draft of Book 2 on Friday so now I'm having a final read through before I start (eek) submitting to agents. It's amazing, after three previous drafts, that I can still find mistakes and huge glaring ones like a character changing her name part way through. She's only a very minor character but you would have thought I'd have picked up on it sooner. There are a few little mistakes, like spelling errors (but aren't picked up in spell chacker because they are a word - just the wrong one) and I still find myself cutting bits here and there.Reaching the end will be fab but also a bit scary as it means my writing will have to be let out for others to see.
I know every time I read through mine I find mistakes! Hope it goes well and good luck with submissions.
ReplyDeleteI bet I'd still be finding mistakes twenty drafts down the line!
DeleteIt's such a scary moment! I still have issue with that after four published novels!
ReplyDeleteSsh! You're supposed to pretend it gets easier ;-)
