Title: Beyond Earth - Self Edit Week two
Post by: lex on August 14, 2020, 10:04:27 PM

   This last week has been hard to find time to get my editing done, I have been preparing for surgery that has suddenly become very real, so I am thrilled that today I had a few hours to sit, edit and get a chance to figure out how to express my "process" and get some help and feedback to become a better writer.
 Having never written fiction before staying in one tense and finding words that bring your characters to life has been difficult. I find that I either have a run on sentences or I try to over describe the situation or room, almost leaving no room for the reader to imagine. I have been writing non-fiction for so long now that finding a voice for my stories is hard, its definitely a journey that I am looking forward to taking. I will slowly make my way through everyone's stories, recovery is long and it definitely needs a little escape and I look forward to everyone's feedback.
