I have finished the second major round of edits on The Black Sun!
It took a little longer than I’d planned, but I wrapped up the revisions yesterday. (Considering I added approximately 20,000 words this time around… I think the extra time was worth it.)
Normally, this is where I’d take a break. Step away, let it sit for a while so I can come back with fresh eyes. But I’ve already started the readthrough, making sure I didn’t break anything too terribly, before I do a final polish and send it off for another round of beta reads. (I’m also figuring out where my chapter breaks go now, since that did break, quite dramatically.)
I am in love with this story. Still. And that’s a remarkable thing for me. I feel like I’ve said this before, but: this might not be the best thing I’ve ever written (I’ve got some snippets and orphaned scenes that are really quite good), but it’s the best complete story I’ve ever written. It’s the best thing I’ve ever bothered to make even better. And I can’t wait to move forward with it.

A huge step. Congratulations!
You’re right- it is a great story!
Thank you! Here’s hoping I didn’t mess anything up in the edits.
Oh, I’m sure you didn’t! I think The Black Sun has has a very solid structure.
