| Why is edit your own story (or at least for me) taking twice as long as it did to even write in the first place. I can not understand why I can't get this rewrite done with as it taking me forever and that is only the first chapter of the well MANY chapter I have to first transcribe then rewrite. |

It could be the same thing as I'm running into with Kitfox editing a story of mine, he's busy with work and his life and editing my story is just a favor. Yes its driving me insane cuz theres things I want to do with my story but "patience is a virtue!"

Thats because when you are rewriting your story, you have already written and somewaht memorized the part, which due to the mammalian brain sees that as something it has already put into memory, making it in part boring. When writing a new chapter, it is sometimes easy to get into a 'writing groove' where words come naturally and somewhat flow onto the page. WIth rewriting, you cant do this, because it has already been written. It is better to try and forget the chunk of the story before rewriting, making it seem like a new thing, causing you to like writing it more, almost like you are reading it for the first time.

I DID IT THE FIRST CHAPTER HAS BEEN EDITED AND REWRITTEN
Now all I have to do is figure out how to publish it to the web to get the content to stay as close to what I wrote.
Any hints??? |

| While I was on vacation I showed some one who happen to be an english graduate a part of my story and I told him I needed an editor and he said he really liked the story and whould love to edit the story as each chapter gets done. This will mean that the story will be comming at much quicker pace. Stay tuned. |

As I said I have an editor now (or that is when he gets back to me) I will then have 2 chapters to post all cleaned and readable. I am sure people will really enjoy reading this story. As some have suggested to me they are saying I should change the tital of my story do the fact that people keep think that has to do with that bad movie that came out lat year. I could use some suggestions just for the heck of keeping this string going on untill I come up with one just as good. Heck one of them might even become the tital I use.
Just for a tease I will post the prologue to the new edited story.
Prologue
Governments no longer exist, everything is run by corporations, and the cities are massive in size and population. There two dominate species and those are the humans and the Anomas. Anomas are all the intelligent are the name for any other bipedal animal descendent. On small blue planet called Earth the largest city is Corporate City where the five largest corporations have there headquarters. The largest and most powerful corporation is Excon. As powerful as Excon is they have there own trouble makers who go by the name corporate rebels, they are determined to bring Excon down but they have been mostly a nuisance to the corporation. |

Well I am doing a first edit you know so the wording is right then I am sending to my brother roommate (an english major) to clean up the spelling and wording.
Does that make sense. I have also found by printing out my first draft and reading it I make notes sctatch out sections (that are not needed) change words around and what not. |
