I completed the latest round of editing on Truthseeker a few days ago. Today I revisited the revisions I'd made during the month and still thought that most were changes for the better. One or two, I decided on reflection, were not and so changed them back to the original form. This method of concentrating on just one chapter a day over a period of about a month certainly works for me. It's one I'll use again over the next few months as I seek to bring this particular work to a final conclusion. All too often I read samples of other author's work on Amazon only to find errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. It's a real shame as it spoils what are, for the most part, excellent pieces of work.  It makes me wonder just how much (or little) editorial input the publishing imprint is providing the author with. It also makes me doubly cautious about going to print with my own work until I can read through it without being able to find anything to change. ...

I'm about half way through my current round of editing on Truthseeker and determined to keep the momentum going. Tackling one chapter each day is certainly proving less onerous than trying to read through the whole manuscript over a couple of sittings. Mind you, it's still a bit of a chore as I've read through this manuscript so many times that it hurts. On a brighter note I've managed to add another thousand words to Secret of Heathcote Manor. According to the stats, this blog is read mainly by viewers in Russia, France and the United States, with the United Kingdom just out of the medal places in 4th. Still no movement on Wattpad so I don't think I'll be posting any more free content there for a while.
