Persistent Spirit is undergoing a re-write. After having been away from it for a few months, I have returned to write the third full draft. I now fully understand the necessity of the breathing space to allow time before returning to the editing process.
I am spotting errors and problems I never saw last time through the text. Silly mistakes such as passive verb use (my pet-hate, in particuar), and duplicated words in consecutive sentences. All are getting fixed.
It’s laborious, but I love this part of the editing process. The chance to polish and fix problems and make it a better product overall, can’t be anything but good.
So, that’s why there’s been little activity on this blog: when you are buried in the words, there’s little else to say!
