Editing

Last night I did another edit on The Baited Psychopath and changed the beginning. There was something disjointed about it and I'd agonized over it for days before realizing it didn’t quite “match” the ending. It was one of those things where I literally smacked myself in the forehead when I realized what I’d done. But still, at least I picked it up before I sent it off.

This story is the first I’ve written with a main male character. Every other story I’ve ever written has had female main character, but Oliver was created a few years ago during a writing exercise at a writer’s retreat and finally his story has come to life. I’m not sure where I’m going to send it yet, but I have a bit of a soft spot for Ollie, I think he’s one of my favourite characters I’ve written.

I've given The Death Blossoms to one of my friends to read so should have the crit back soon and hopefully can send it off.
