Before I get to my 6 editing steps, let me tell you about my story idea document. Before I begin my book, I jot down an outline of the book chapters and what will happen in each chapter.
As further ideas occur while I’m writing, I jot them down in the appropriate chapter notes. I also put links to any research or images I use in my book (Be sure to document your image sources or get public domain images.)
Finally, this document is also where I put my scene list and time time. Here’s my table of contents of this document for My Undead Mother-in-law, my sequel to Zombie Turkeys.
