Yes, I’m still going through corrections. One thing I noticed as I go through the books as one entire file in MS Word…. My chapters are waaaaaaay too long. I have to give the reader a break, IMHO. Nobody has mentioned that. I put the question to my Managing Editor as to when I should try go break things up into smaller chunks and here advice was to handle that now! So now I’m breaking things up and trying to make sure that my breaks are logical.
When all was said and done, I went from 14 chapters to 24 chapters. Actually 16 Chapters to 26 chapters is we include the Prologue and Epilogue. The Prologue is actually quite lengthy and probably could have been better handled as three separate chapters, but the front story needs to be there, so it makes logical sense to leave it the way it is.
Now the I have that done, I actually need to start from the beginning and read to the end again. Gotta love the process. But I want to make sure what my readers get makes sense, so it is all necessary. Slow and Steady.
