Editing is a long process and it takes a lot of focus, time and persistence. It has now been a year since I had to rewrite the whole story of The Crimson River to fix some very important errors. I thought I would give you a sample of some of the late-stage editing and how such editing looks on a page.

​Once the first draft is written, my editing process usually starts with printing the pages. Then I carefully read through everything and make notes. I then scan the edited pages. Having both the scanned/edited document and the original one open at the same time, I can quickly transfer the edits onto the manuscript.

I then repeat this process several times until I read through the book without making any significant changes. That’s when I know the manuscript is ready for the editor.

​

Here is a song that I was unable to post in a regular blog because it would spoil the truth of who Oliver really is. Although there are no bullets in the new world guns, the song fits the mood.

Smash Into Pieces is a rock band from Sweden. All Eyes On You is part of their 2020 album Arcadia. I was unable to find the official video for the song, so here it is an Acoustic Version.
​
All Eyes On You

Killer for hire, soldier of fortune

Gotta walk through fire for what's important
And the warrior's blood through your veins is coursing
Killer for hire, soldier of fortune

The whole world's watching every move
Take your shot, don't act a fool
All you've got and all you'll ever need

Is one bullet in the chamber
Breathe easy, take your aim, boy
Ain't nobody gonna save you
So what you gonna do?
All eyes on you

One bullet in the chamber
Breathe easy, take your aim, boy
Ain't nobody gonna save you
So what you gonna do?
All eyes on you

Do or die, you're a mercenary
One of a kind, that's your burden to carry
Go and make them proud do what's necessary, oh, no
Do or die, you're a mercenary

Now the whole world's watching every move
Take your shot, don't act a fool
All you've got and all you'll ever need

Is one bullet in the chamber
Breathe easy, take your aim, boy
Ain't nobody gonna save you
So what you gonna do?
All eyes on you

One bullet in the chamber
Breathe easy, take your aim, boy
Ain't nobody gonna save you
So what you gonna do?
All eyes on you

Now the whole world's watching every move
Still your heart so much to prove
Fight for all the things that you believe in

Now the whole world's watching every move
Take your shot, don't act a fool
All you've got and all you'll ever need

Is one bullet in the chamber
Is one bullet in the chamber
Breathe easy, take your aim, boy
Ain't nobody gonna save you
So what you gonna do?
All eyes on you
​

One bullet in the chamber
Breathe easy, take your aim, boy
Ain't nobody gonna save you
So what you gonna do?
All eyes on you
