TOP 5 TIPS: Editing Your Novel

Editing is such a grueling process. It took me TWO YEARS to edit my second novel. It was such a mission but SO worth it when I finally held the final copy in my hands. Now, years later, I want to edit it all over again hahaha!!
Thanks for the tips Natalia, you always inspire me to crack on with my writing.

I finished a manuscript back in February and I took a one month break to write the sequel during Camp NaNoWriMo, but now I'm coming back to edit the first book. This video was really helpful!

Good tips. I've got items I so need to edit.

Wonderful advice!  But you know, I NEVER edit my work.  I mean, I'm the kinda person who will go over everything to look for typos and whatnot.  But the thought of removing chunks or sections of my story...I don't get that part of writing?  It's like when I write something, the first time--from chapter to chapter or even sentence to sentence, I REALLY  try to nail it out the gate.  Now what this means, is that it WILL take me FOREVER to write something.  But I don't mind being patient.  What would be so much WORSE, would be taking stuff out and pretty much having to start all over again with something else.

I love printing my manuscript when I edit. I personally hate reading a screen so printing it definitely motivates me to edit

Thank You for sharing this with us the viewers

This was the first video I've watched that gave practical steps on editing. Most of them just go through WHAT needs to be edited but not HOW to edit. Thank you so much for this video!

Is it possible you can create a video about beta readers, where/ how you find them, how you pick them, etc? In love with your videos and your style❤. I sit down with my mom and watch your video's more often then not so it can help with our creativity and get us pumped for our writing sessions to come! Much love❤❤❤❤❤💕

Great video!!! I have a love-hate relationship with editing.

So much great advice! Getting ready to start tackling revisions of my NaNoWriMo novel on January 1st.

Plotter vs pantser?

what if you don't want to use beta readers?

seriously needed this as I'm about to start edits

I should be editing instead of watching this video...shhhhhh....I have no regrets tho lol.

Your canines are perfection. So is the advice you give.

Thank you for this video, i didnt consider a lot of your points. Printing out the manuscript seems daunting but also exciting!

Thank you!

Editing my novel.....what a freaking insanely daunting task.....Yet well worth it!!!

Damn good info,Thanks
