I'm deep in edits for book 1 of my paranormal romance series. I mean, DEEP in edits. Some of the changes meant I had to disconnect some of my scenes, change the transitions. When I write, the rhythm of the book is extremely important to me and when I mess with that...I have to ensure I build it back up again so the flow is seamless. It's as if I need to make sure those fine emotional threads aren't thinned out too much throughout, that they hold firm and don't let the external plot overshadow them too much. I know. It's weird. I'm weird, because I love this process. I love to finesse with a book, I love to review words and phrases to see what could be made better and I love getting to spend time with my characters again. And although it's not "hard", revisions really are like fine, delicate, intricate brain surgery LOL.
Oh, and by the way? The book just got bumped to an August release. Yay!! And I hope to actually have a title soon...

Awesome! But I feel you about edits. Oh, dear... congrats on the earlier release!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that your release will be in August. This is Carina, right? (Edits are intense with them) But you have such a great handle on your edits. I can understand exactly what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adriana!
ReplyDeleteKaye, yeah, you could say Carina edits are...intense. But it's making the book so great, so it's all good. And I really do love the process :).
