Revision Options

While I'm waiting for the edits to begin on KILLER OF KILLERS, I've been using this time to revise my WIPs, particularly KILLER EYES, the sequel to KILLER OF KILLERS. But after having read through it once already, I've been spot checking it here and there.

It's because reading it from beginning to end, and making revisions while doing so, is a very time-consuming process. So lately I'm just randomly selecting a chapter or a passage and reading it and improving it right there.

I have found some spots that I've changed considerably using that method. It's weird how I didn't notice the need for those changes as I read through it chronologically. But it happens. I remember with both THE VASE and KILLER OF KILLERS, I found spots that needed changing or adjusting because it was out of sync with the rest of the story.

And I'm looking at this from another mindset, too. For the first time, I'm considering a third book in the TRENT SMITH story, and I am inserting some things into KILLER EYES that might set up that third storyline.

And like I said last week, I might even change the name of the book from KILLER EYES to THE KILLERS GUILD. But I'm not sure. I like both titles and both would fit. We'll see.

UPDATE: It seems there has been some kind of new format change made by the blogging gods. The draft page looks very different, but at least I've figured out how to make the line breaks now. You have to save it from the "Options" tag on the menu.
