My Editing Process

 I have  just finished editing one of my older stories. I put the new version in my Etsy shop as a digital book. Going back to see this book reminded me of how important the editing process is to a writer. I have no one to edit the books that I publish myself, so my process has to have layers. I write my stories in long hand first. Lately I have cut down to just writing outlines in long hand or the first paragraph of each chapter. I complete each chapter or fill out my outline on to my computer.I use the cloud exclusively now. I read what I wrote, sometimes out loud. I prepare the books to be published as PDF files. I read the books again and make any corrections. After that I publish my books by uploading them to my book shop. That is how I edit my works.
