I did some light editing last night. I looked for typos and formatting errors. Also cut out a few pages. I'm going to duplicate the file ("save as") and revise from there. This is but a simple step.
This morning I had a few ideas for the intro paragraph, and that meant writing a few paragraphs out and leaving them for a later date. Also some ideas for a couple of dialogue adjustments and scenes came to mind. Jotted them down on a separate document to possibly add later.
When I make another sweep at editing, I will definitely look at the characters' voices. There are two distinct characters and four who speak in this story. Each needs to feel like they have a specific voice. I need to make sure I'm able to give them their due.
By the way did I mention that writing is rewriting? If I haven't, now you know.
