I giving my manuscript a final once over prior to handing it over to an editor. It's amazing the errors and sentence structures that you'd missed the first, second, and third time around. It really is a good idea to put your ms away for a break and then go back to it. You can pick out many areas that need clarification.
My peonies are getting ready to open!!!!
Have a Nice Weekend!
Peonies? How lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't agree with you more about letting projects "rest." (I always seem to notice so many cringe-worthy mistakes whenever I set a piece of art aside for a few days!) Hope the final once-over for your manuscript goes well!
Thank you Heather.
DeleteGood luck with those final edits and enjoy some time outside this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI plan too. Thanks Alex.
DeleteThe same thing happens to me when I put a story away for a while. When I go back over it, I can't believe all the stuff I missed. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeletePeonies are lovely. I've never had much luck growing them until this year. I'm finally going to get some blossoms. Yay! Have a great weekend!
I love peonies and they elude such a great fragrance!!!
DeletePutting your book aside is always a good idea. The longer the better.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I put it aside long enough.
DeleteI love peonies!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how mistakes keep sliding through. It's better to put it down, ignore it and hit it with fresh eyes. Good luck!
I definitely find more errors if I set a ms. aside and come back to it. That's not always possible, but I try to do it when I can!
ReplyDeleteIt's not always possible.
DeleteWell done on your week and I love peonies but mine are a long way from producing their buds and flowers yet over here in England :)

Really? I thought we were close as far as weather goes. Well, yours will be blooming soon I hope.
DeleteEditing is never-ending... I'm glad your garden is beginning to thrive. When the flowers bloom, take pics and share! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy gardening.
