Editing, Or Putting a Chopped Onion Back Together Again

So I wrote my first romantic horror novella in July, and I plan on pitching it to a few editors in a few weeks. That means it’s time to edit like a crazy woman. Whenever I edit, I imagine I’m putting a chopped onion back together again because I’m adding the layers (character, plot, setting, dialog) to make a complete story. Each layer has to fit together just so to make the perfect whole.

You may not hear from me much while I hunker down and fling onion pieces around. But I’ll soon be finished and smelling like dinner!
