Quick, Down & Dirty Edits

by Lisa Carter @LisaCarter27

I'm excited to have author Lisa Carter guest blogging today. Her newest novel, Beneath the Navajo Moon released just yesterday. She's a fantastic writer, but beyond that, she's able to explain how she does it. If you ever get a chance to take one of her workshops, don't even hesitate. Today, she's sharing her checklist for edits.

Okay—you wrote this article/blog post/novel.

And like the writing mentors recommend, you allowed your “baby” to take a little nap before you returned with fresh eyes and ever-evolving writer-ly skill to complete your edits. It’s on the back burner for a while due to too many items on your plate.

Proceed at your own risk, because I’m throwing cliché rules out the window with this one, folks.
