First month of 2025; edit that!

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my writing days and that hasn’t changed this year; starting the second week; I began editing the fifth book. This meant starting from page 1 and going through, correcting stupid grammar mistakes, removing redundant words and changing sentences or adding.

With more than 400 pages to edit, I hope to do on average 10 pages a day; as of the 29th of January, last Wednesday of the month, I have done 61 pages. Biggest problem with document it is a mixture of different fonts, different spacing and the average font is 11. This is going to take at least 40 days with on average 2 days per week, that is 20 weeks.

A typical writing session on a Wednesday

Until I finish editing, I am having a guessing competition for those interested in getting their name in the next book I write. There is about 410 pages – in A4 – in the word document. Whoever guess the closest number to total words in the document when I finished writing (Titles and Table of Contents not included), I will have their name – or variant if they wish to use a pen name or nickname.
