Something I noticed

I've been capping Excalibur to make icons and I just noticed something which made me laugh



Look how blunt Excalibur is! There's no point at all at the end. You could barely use that sword for spreading butter. LOL!

Probably, but I'm thinking seriously of when this is done, never allowing it to be read by anyone. It's kind of atrocious, when I read it back.

There's this little thing called reality - which is kind of missing

Take the advice of Stephen King. When you've finished put it away for six weeks. Don't think about it. Don't look it. Then, after six weeks, you can go back to it with fresh eyes and start editing. He does that with all his novels

Aye, that's how I do it, when I've actualyl finished a story before (excluding fic) - I have a little book or writing, and in it tehre are seven stages of editing, two of which are complete, or near complete re-writes of the novel. Takes about eight months from the completion of the novel writing stage, to the actually finish of the novel. Which seems ages, but in between there's room for other writing.

Exactly :)
