When I wrote short stories for magazines, once you were finished wriing, for the most part you were done. Occassionally someone would want the ending changed or something, but that was it. Same with books. I kind of assumed once you were done writing you were basically done. Although I'd heard all the terms in the past, when it came to books I wasn't ready for content edits, line edits, proof edits, galleys, proofs, etc. It's a lot.Kevin R.

When I'm working on a first draft, basically coming up with the story on the fly, when I have to stop I make sure and stop in the middle of a sentence. That way, when I return to the piece, I'm forced to pick up right in the same thought I left off.<br />Kevin R.

Most of my other books, though, are mysteries, either procedural or private eye. <br />Kevin R.
