I think I tried to start the third round of edits too soon. I'm slogging through Chapter 2, with little success -- either that's a sign I'm trying to force the edit, or it is just terribly slow and I'm seeing my own sluggish pacing for what it is. Regardless, I'm going to take another week before I address this chapter, and maybe I can come up with something to improve the quality.
It's been my experience that immediately jumping into the last edit is never a good thing. I know that you get anxious to get it done, but it's best to let it sit for a few weeks before going back to tackle it one last time. Take a break, work on something else, read a book, so when you go back you'll most likely catch more rather than if you force yourself to re-read it right away.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I'm far from the last edit yet, but I'm adhering to some more time off. Better to have patience and to take my time than to make a mess of things.
