I edited my book more this week, first, focusing on Alonzo Brown, my African-American character. It was a lighter week with my Genius Hour workload. My mother, the author of Getting It Right the Second Time Around, started editing with me, diving deep into the context of the words and their meaning. It is very important to get the least number of words that mean the most. No one wants to read a long novel when they can read a shorter one with the exact same story line and, perhaps, even better writing. Anyways, I really like editing because it forces me to look deep into the characters and understand them more. It is frustrating slightly because editing is tedious, but it is also fun to reread your work. A picture of Jennifer Frank and her book can be seen to the left.
