Dawn Embers: O is for Organize
http://dawnembers.blogspot.com/2015/04/o-is-for-organize.html
Blog of a writer working towards publication in fiction. Friday, April 17, 2015. O is for Organize. Organization comes in handy when it comes to editing. Organize and take notes, they are two aspects I've used both during and in between drafts. In fact, organization helps in many venues, including blogging. Like, if I had been more organized, I would have my blog posts done in advance and just be spending this time commenting on others in the A to Z challenge. How do you organize your edits? V is for Verb.

Dawn Embers: T is for the Terrible Trouble
http://dawnembers.blogspot.com/2015/04/t-is-for-terrible-trouble.html
Blog of a writer working towards publication in fiction. Thursday, April 23, 2015. T is for the Terrible Trouble. I may have made that up. Maybe. Remember to check out other blogs in the A to Z challenge. What do I mean by terrible trouble? First, both start with T and I couldn't decide which one to use, but also because it's a terrible mindset that can cause trouble during edits. It's the "everything is terrible" problem causing thoughts that surface when trying to make that final draft shine. X is for ...

http://dawnembers.blogspot.com/2015/04/q-is-for-query.html
Blog of a writer working towards publication in fiction. Monday, April 20, 2015. Q is for Query. Aside from all of this editing, the other thing I need to do is rewrite and edit my query letter. Since my goal for finishing the edit is to submit to agents, the query is of great importance and makes for a good Q topic. Check out the other words used for Q blog here.

Dawn Embers: K is for Kill Your Darling
http://dawnembers.blogspot.com/2015/04/k-is-for-kill-your-darling.html
Blog of a writer working towards publication in fiction. Monday, April 13, 2015. K is for Kill Your Darling. This topic works well with editing because first draft is not the time to try and let go of a darling, no matter what form it takes. Even second draft is a bit too early. But nearing the end in rewrites and edits, that is a great time to kill the darlings and thus my topic for day K in the A to Z blog challenge. What does it mean?

http://dawnembers.blogspot.com/2015/04/z-is-for-zealous.html
Blog of a writer working towards publication in fiction. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Z is for Zealous. Made it to the end of the challenge with a similar Z word for both of my blogs. It was tough this year for some reason even though I've done A to Z for the past few years. I hope to do next year as well but we'll see how things go. For now, I'm glad to be at the end as I have editing to do. Link: http:/ www.a-to-zchallenge.com/p/a-to-z-challenge-sign-uplist-2015.html. Are you Zealous about your novel?

Dawn Embers: M is for Manipulate
http://dawnembers.blogspot.com/2015/04/m-is-for-manipulate.html
Blog of a writer working towards publication in fiction. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. M is for Manipulate. Editing is manipulation and sometimes you have to manipulate yourself in order to edit. When we edit there are many forms of manipulation used in order to get the draft twisted into our desired results. Whether it is changing characters, scenery or even down to the specifics of sentence structure and punctuation, during the process we are manipulating the draft in order to get the finished product.
