I’ve been going through Wild Heritance, Book 1 doing what I am calling “word edits”. For this type of edit, I comb through the story for certain words or short phrases, frequently fillers, that I discovered popping up over and over in my writing. I think taking another, closer look at these and assessing their value in their particular places in the story has improved the writing and the story. Many I’ve eliminated, many others I’ve rewritten to strengthen the story.
Getting closer and closer to publication!
