Final (major) edit pass of “Death Rides for Free” done
Posted by: Fritz. in Action-Adventure, Chronicles from the Nexus, Critiquing, Links, Science Fiction, Short Story, Wiki Article, WritingI’ve finished up my final (major) edit pass of “Death Rides for Free” and am busily putting the edits in to the doc. I normally do my edits on a hard copy so as to compartmentalize my working environments. I use the word processor primarily for the “barf” phase, then edit on hard copy in the “polish” phase in order to avoid the temptation to edit / wordsmith during the barf phase. After a slash-and-burn rampage with the red pen (which is misleading, as I tend to write bare-bones and then augment and add far more than I remove during an edit pass) I type it all in.
