Editing

For a month now, I have been editing my story AHIP. Almost every night, I would work on a chapter or two. My ridiculously long, three volume novel, is now ready to be altered in the computer.

I opened the notebook where all my changes are, and I noticed a little extra editing. Apparently Andrew, my darling two year old, saw fit to add a few edits of his own. Unfortunately for me, he used the same color editing pen as I did. There are all kinds of marks and lines and I am having a deal of a time deciphering his changes from my changes.

I suppose I should add this to the list of steps in the writing process - literary critiques from a two-year old.

Someday that will be endearing, but for now I can only imagine how frustrating that in your private life (away from two year olds) they saw fit to invade. Or maybe you're crafting not only a novel, but a future writer in your son?

Funny post, and thanks for your comments on my other post. Somedays it all feels so isolated.
