Editing the manuscript
I was told this is where the hard work starts and it's true. Critiqued and encouraged by a professional writer who on the whole had nothing but praise for my writing; the errors found this morning after a dozen read throughs outloud and further editing by my husband Philip still reveals errors. Which proves that we read a word as we want to read it!

I can empathize...when you read back what you first wrote yourself and then have other people read it back you amaze yourself with the number of errors....it's normal. All part and parcel of the process. Don't be disheartened...it's going to be a great book! Sxx (with G's google account)
