I’m in deep-editing mode on the
fourth book in my Sherlock Academy series. I do a lot of edits on my laptop.
But then there comes a point where I have to go to the next level and print out
my story and do hard-copy edits. For whatever reason, I see new things and
catch more mistakes when I edit on paper.
And it’s more kid-friendly. Westly
is obsessed with all things electronic, and all things Mama’s. So whenever I
bust out my laptop, he’s right there wanting to tap it and grab it and get in
the way…no matter how many times I tell him NO.
But when I bust out a stack of
typed paper with red pen marks all over it, he doesn’t glance twice. And I’m
able to catch a few misspelled words and rewrite a few sentences while he
stacks his blocks on the floor.
