Having just finished the first draft of my novel, I know that what will come next is editing. Except I am not really sure how to edit (stupid I know). And the thought of editing something this long is really daunting. But I have Self-Editing for Fiction Writers and Revision and Self-Editing by James Scott Bell.
I had some issues with my plot during the first draft. But my subconscious solved a lot of the problems, so I may have to get rid of some aspects of the plot while keeping others. When it comes time to write the second draft, I am planning to write a chapter by chapter outline.
Any advice would be great!
