That was one of my goals : to finish editing my draft.
After having someone read it I had decided to rewrite extensive parts and change some of the plots (consequently). After a few weeks (months), I've just finished.
It probably needs some more works, but for now I've read and re-read all parts so many times that I think I need to forget it for a little while to read it again with "new" eyes. I'm just experimenting a little, trying to change from past 3rd to past 1st, but nothing serious.
In the mean time, I'll be working on my second draft which is going well. Already over 8k...
My next goals : re-read my book to see if it's really beta worthy, and finish the first draft of my next project. I give myself until the end of the year for that.

And maybe another goal : daring to send one or two of my short stories to editors... I'm still a bit shy.

Congrats on all of that! Keep at it, and don't be shy! Developing a thick hide is all part of the process.

Good work! If you like what you've written and edited, go ahead and submit. You can take the shyness and dump it in the nearest round file.

Blessings,

CGs and get the stories out there -- rejection means you're in the game. Tackled maybe, but increasingly able to spring up and forge onward.
