The delights of editing
Editing is one of my favourite things and I usually find it easier to edit a book than to write it in the first place! So I've been enjoying doing the revisions on my latest WIP, especially as they've cooincided with a three week holiday off work :) It's been lovely, doing almost nothing but writing every day, although - holiday or not - I'm definitely a morning writer. My preferred routine is to get up around six, make a cafetiere of good Italian coffee and retire back to bed with my computer. Writing feels so much more relaxed when one's mind is uncluttered and there's no need to stop when things are flowing or dash out to work at a crucial point. As a result, my revisions have come along nicely and I'm almost ready to re-submit a partial in the next week or so. Also this week, I met up for lunch with my good writing friend, Sarah Snowdon . We went to Dylan's in Criccieth, an Art-Deco-like building designed and built in 1954 by Clough Willia
