Hey there, Georgia College peeps! You might have seen me around campus or in the admissions office. Yep, I'm that fellow with perpetually puzzled look, buried under mountain of paperwork. However, when I'm not wearing my University Admissions Director hat, love losing myself in the world of fiction. I've just finished the first draft of my debut novel it's suspense thriller set right here in Georgia (can't help but bring in that local flavor! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But man, man. The editing process? It's like running marathon uphill. In the middle of July. In Atlanta. Seriously though, any advice to keep from getting overwhelmed?
I've got plot lines that need tightening up and characters who decided halfway through they wanted to do their own thing (even rebellious in their imaginary realm). Not to mention those pesky grammar issues that seem to sprout like kudzu vines! My problem is knowing where to start. Do start by sorting out the big-picture stuff? Or should get down to the nitty-gritty details first? And how do you know when enough's enough? Swear if read this manuscript one more time, might just start speaking in novel lingo. Honestly, But let's switch gears for second. Good friend of mine has just started at Clayton State University and he’s struggling to secure an on-campus job.
