    Hey Brittany. You're video popped up in my thread and I thought I'd pop in here and show my support. Good luck with editing your novel. I'm excited for you about where you are in the processof your book!

    Excited to try!! My nano draft has a lot of things missing so next step for me will be to re-shape its structure now that I have done a lot of free writing. It may take me another camp nano or a couple months to get a proper first draft, but it will be so helpful to return to this video when I'm ready to edit. Thank you so much for all those tips, it’s really inspiring!

    Thank you SOOO much for this help. I'm on my second round. This is the first book I've written and its non fiction for young women. After talking to some editors and learning the costs I wasn't sure if I could keep going. This gives me hope.

    #3 Still drafting, but I had a project that I shelved for now due to how much trouble I had with the edits. I don't want to do that with this project because I hope to make it my debut!

    This was so helpful!! I’m on draft 2 and editing is getting pretty overwhelming! I use post it’s on a white board with chapter summaries but I’ll have to try using trello! What makes editing more overwhelming is that it’s time taking. I know people who get it done in just 3 drafts and in a couple months but this was super helpful!

    Actually, I am none of those. I am a beginning editor working on improving my skills by reading, viewing, learning as much as possible about developmental editing itself.
