Undo edits

Jeez – sick of this already.

Ok, one more line level edit before I put this one up for sale. Even though I rate this story [1] and it has been published before (under a horrific title I fail to remember right now) my love for it has become exhausted.

Even though it is part 1 of Standoff [2] I’ve lost interest in doing anything but fix what I think is wrong.

What is wrong? Well, I’ve fallen into the trap of narrator voice vs narrative in that I struggle to keep the thin line between a diary entry by a character and an actual story without the reader become aware of either. It’s those little spots you’d read and go – oh yeah as if he’d write it down like that. Things of that nature. I’ve also become obsessed with adverbs and passive writing. Funny but I picked up a Jeffrey Thomas Punktown novel and it’s littered with the above so perhaps I am overthinking (not overwriting, though, huh?) about the technical aspects of writing over and above the actual writing itself.

This is very probable.

[1] wouldn’t be selling it otherwise, would I?
[2] coming soon!
