It is harder than it sounds. At least it's like that for me with writing. I wrote a 50k word novel last November, the draft that is. I still have not finished editing. And, as a Pantser, things like Chapters were irrelevant. I just opened the floodgates, as one should with the draft, and wrote.
Now, I don't think, or don't know rather, that the editing part of the job is necessarily harder than writing the draft? Is it? I guess I'm finding out.
What I'm doing first though, having already spell checked and looked for adverbs, is putting chapters in. Doing this while tired, having just had a few hotdogs, and a small bottle of beer, for lunch. I might need a nap.
(One nap later)
Some editing has actually taken place, and now that I've taken a closer look I see thet the chapter thing is not as bad as originally thought.
But, the rest of the editing, spotting lots of things that need attention, changing, tearing up. Not easy, daunting even. One step closer though. We will get there.
