So as most of you all know, I've started to post my stories on Inkitt. 
          	The issue I'm having now is most of the copies I have of my books are in dire need of editing as a lot of them are first edits, and others were written a long time ago so will need a serious touch up. 
          	
          	My question to you guys is how you'd like me to proceed. 
          	
          	Option one is I could edit them and put them up bit by bit as i go along, which is kind of what I have been doing so far. 
          	
          	Option 2 would be to finish them all and post them when they're done. 
          	
          	The third option is one I've been thinking about a lot recently. 
          	I would post everything as they are now, unedited, and when I'm ready to edit that book, I will create a new book and post chapters as I go. 
          	This way, the old copy will still be up if anybody wishes to read it, and I will be able to take my time with the editing the newer version. 
          	There will be two of whatever book I edit, a new and an old, so readers would be able to choose which version they prefer to read. 
          	
          	Let me know what you guys would rather!

@MeXagainstXtheXworld the third option seems like the best of both worlds! We get to read your amazing books and you get time to rewrite and edit the books in your own time

just finished sly’s book and it crazy to think that the book ended on a kinda open ending with jacky letting things be on slys terms it’s sooo cute!!  it did surprise me cuz in my mind they are basically 4 lifers and already married

@loseriduh I'm so glad you're enjoying it! They are definitely for lifers <3

@coronaxxgorgon on an unrelated note, I'm off to Google that, although I have absolutely no doubt he would because it sounds exactly like the sort of thing he'd adore!

@MeXagainstXtheXworld Glad to help. I think often when we reread our own writing, our brains know what should be there and can fill in the gaps. I find reading it out loud helps me notice if words are missing or a phrase sounds wrong. Also, editing is my autistic talent. I see things without trying to. It’s a talent many find annoying and they can get defensive, so I love helping someone who actually appreciates it and realises I’m not attacking them or their writing ability, merely pointing out things that are easily overlooked, especially when you’ve read it multiple times.

@MeXagainstXtheXworld You’re welcome. I’ve done the first four chapters now.

@JemellaF if it is in chapter, id be able to see the paragraphs you've highlighted so I'll know exactly where I need to look? But if copying the chapter is easier for you, I'm happy to do that. 
          
          Of course. I'm far too close to my own work sometimes. I can read it a dozen times and miss what's blatantly there, or it'll make sense because I'll finish the thought in my head without realising I need to explain it better.
          I wouldn't think for a second you were trying to change it to your own — I'm happy for you to point out anything, not even just mistakes, but your personal opinions on scenes if you feel there should be more/less or anything like that. I'm quite thick skinned too, so you don't need to worry about tiptoeing around my feelings on anything, even if you have to be blunt. 
          
          And, of course, I appreciate it so much, I'm very grateful, but  i do hope doing this will never get in thr way of your private life as I know it can be a little bit time consuming. So if there's ever a point it conflicts with that,  please opt out and prioritise everything else:)

Just got done reading eyes’s second book so far and it’s incredible I missed your creative writing !! I always get so immersed on how well you put things 
          
          Will Lucien’s book and or the side stories be uploaded as well? Or are they scrapped either way I’m happy to have any book back on any app

loseriduh

@loseriduh thank you!!!
            
            Yes! I will put all books up but I probably won't finish the unfinished ones until I edit them so they'll be left hanging to a degree

I’ve made some suggestions for the first chapter of The Little of Oz. Hope it helps.

Thanks. I don’t have much of a life at the moment and editing is something I enjoy doing but if it gets too much for me I’ll let you know.

Do you want me to just make suggestions in the comments or would it be better to copy a chapter and send them as a document? I would also like to make a general disclaimer that some words, phrases and styles of writing differ according to what countries we are in so some suggestions may make sense in Australia but not the USA or UK. Therefore I just want it to be clear that everything is offered as a suggestion to be used or ignored at the author’s discretion. My only hope is that I can offer a new set of eyes that might see things you have missed and another opinion which might help you to clarify your meaning. I have no desire to change your story into my own.
