Finding What Works for You.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m probably the last person who should write about this as I struggle more with editing than any other part of the writing process.<\/strong> Give me a blank page and I can fill it with words. Give me a character and the story practically writes itself.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to sitting down, rereading and actually editing my own words I am, quite literally, like a lizard on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16230 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/editing2-300x200.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/editing2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/editing2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/editing2-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>There\u2019s plenty of advice out there but it\u2019s not advice that works for me.<\/p>\n<p>In analyzing what works for me I came up with several things to share.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Passes<\/strong> &#8211; Currently I\u2019m going through my editor\u2019s developmental edit and the changes called for are huge, overwhelmingly so. On first pass I change the easy stuff, like filter words and the other edits that don\u2019t feel difficult or complicated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smaller Chunks<\/strong> &#8211; I split the entire manuscript up into a certain amount of scenes per day in order to meet my deadline. For example, I have 59 scenes and need to get it done in 14 days = 4-5 scenes per day which seems feasible. Until I get to them! The problem is that some scenes are easier than others. Some have 1 or 2 changes and others have 10 or 12 changes. The ones at the beginning and end have more changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16231\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Editing4-220x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Editing4-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Editing4-768x1047.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Editing4-751x1024.jpg 751w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Editing4-300x409.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>The other day I worked on a scene I\u2019d been putting off.<\/strong> I corrected everything except for one element weeks ago, but when I set to work on the one remaining element it took me 3 hours and I\u2019m still not done! <em>This is not sustainable.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The other night after a full day devoted to editing I realized I had achieved very little.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Fresh Eyes<\/strong> &#8211; When I\u2019ve approached a change that bogged me down one day on a different day,I\u2019m often able to complete it in no time. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Do as much as you can on one element and if you can\u2019t complete it or if it feels overwhelming, move on.<\/strong><\/span> I\u2019ve started from the back instead of the front, and this works for several scenes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sprints<\/strong> &#8211; Overwhelmed?

I hate admitting this. I am not a morning person. But after a long day at either my day job or writing or working out the last thing my mind wants to do is figure out a puzzle, which is what I liken editing to.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Find what works for you and don\u2019t be afraid to experiment as long as you have the time to do so.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Keep track on a spreadsheet or in word or an app or in your head. Know your limitations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I found out the hard way that I cannot write a new book and edit the previous one on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>To find what works for you, you have to be willing to fail. Failure is not a bad word.<strong> It\u2019s a learning experience, a challenge, a lesson and permission to grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"www.ChloeAdler.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"www.ChloeAdler.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16146\" title=\"Chloe Adler\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Chloe Adler\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>For the past undisclosed amount of years, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ChloeAdler.com\" target=\"_blank\">Chloe Adler<\/a> has thoroughly bucked the system.
