The editing has begun

Well today marks the first day in almost a month that I have gone back into my novel and started the amazing editing process. My goal for the second draft is to rearrange, cut, and fill out sections of the novel so the plot makes sense.
Also - to take out passive voice whenever I come across it.

Shiri's Office - The location of chapter one

So far so good - I read quickly through chapter one and easily identified some of the pieces that needed to be rearranged or taken out.

It introduces one of the female main characters, Shiri, and describes a mysterious "accident" that she might have had something to do with. And since everyone knows about it, they are also whispering behind her back. What's a girl to do in summer, while trying to avoid contact with everyone else?

I think though...since I'm the MOST acquainted with the beginning of my story (I've reread and rewrote and rearranged it too many times)....I think when I stared editing tomorrow I'm gonna skip around a bit. Maybe even try expanding on the ending of the book.
Ya know, the part I rushed through just to call the stupid draft completed :P

Well that's enough for now. I want to keep editing time at a minimum every day, so I can keep my "new eyes" perspective as long as I can. Till next time, write on!
