 Photo by Brett Sayles 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 |
