Editing Update 13/08/07
August 14th 2007 02:23
Well, today, seeing as how I woke up like an hour ago, I haven't done too much... unless you count before I went to bed.
In which case, I am THE obsessive compulsive editor of the day. No joke. I've been editing Moonshadow's Guardian somewhat obsessively. I'm that anxious/hyper to get it out there. I really am.
I redid the first chapter and part of chapter 2, and part of chapter 6. I added more to the ending, creating a new ending. With the new ending, I have this gut feeling that it's *ready*. As in, I somehow know, emotionally, that my book is finished. It's edited as much as me, myself, and I, can really edit it except a few things I'll be adding over the next couple weeks.
I'm proud of this work. I'm proud of it. I'm renaming it again, maybe, to Riana. I'd like some opinions.
But I know that in the next couple of weeks, I'll be ready to submit that. It's finished, I've done what I can, I've moved on to rewriting my first novel (with a much darker tone this time and a higher age group) and its sequels into a one-book trilogy. (Think of how the '3' LOTR books are actually supposed to be 6 volumes. Well my book was 3 originally.)
It's done. Thank gods.
So, which title do you like better? Moonshadow's Guardian or Riana? (Riana being the name of the protaganist.)

Nothing admirable here... I just have nothing better to do.
And I wrote all this crap, and it's all really good ideas, so I'm rewriting it because I have no new ideas.
