Hey guys! Today's #LRBHelpfultip is shown by the picture: The Three Stages of Editing. I found this on pintrest along with many more I will share later. It's pretty self explanatory if you look at the picture, but to sum it up you want to follow these when you are in your editing stage since this will help you accomplish the best edits possible. Instead of focusing on small details during your first stages of editing, focus on the big picture and save nitty picky details for the final stage. Check back next Friday for another #LRBHelpfultip! Keep on writing! Lindsey

Having such a long break between my editing sessions on my book, has made me realize something; it's okay to take a break from what you're currently working on and begin another project. The reason I say this is because while editing my story now, it's been so long since I've read it that it has enabled me to see it with fresh eyes. I don't remember every detail the same way since I've had a few months since I last read it. I forget details or styles that I wrote in and when I re-read certain sections I'm filled with a sense of awe at my own writing. I am able to truly be immersed in my story again and become the characters I am reading about. This not only helps me to add in more detail and edit it in a way that I am able to see it objectively, but it also shows me that it is truly something I would want to read and keep reading if it were something I had picked up at a book store. That feeling is one that keeps me writing and keeps me excited about it. It gives me a renewed feeling of hope that my book will be a success. So, it is okay to take a break now and then and focus on another project for a little while in order to make the story become something new again.
