Beautiful Books: The Editing Process
The busyness of NaNoWriMo is finally over. In the aftermath, Cait and I have the third and final round of Beautiful Books! This time, we're discussing the editing process. How did your NaNo novel turn out? How do you edit an average novel? Tell us all!
How does it work? We've assembled 10 questions for you to answer about your novel (and yourself). Open a blog post, answer them, and come back to add your link to the linky. Please feel free to check out the other linkers, too! We want this to be one big party.
OH! One last thing. While Beautiful Books is somewhat themed around NaNoWriMo, you absolutely don't have to be doing NaNo to participate. Pick a work-in-progress, grab a hot beverage, and enjoy. Above all, these link-ups are supposed to be fun!
So that people can find the link-up, please link back to Cait and I, either via a text link or this fancy blog button.
