It is exactly a year today, since I first started writing my book/story, The Eight Shadows in the Abyss. Thank you to all my readers who've stayed with me, and for encouraging me to continue. It's really been thrilling and fun doing this, and I also discovered an interest in writing. Sometimes, I felt as if it wasn't enough, that I wasn't too good, but most of the time, I feel it's all worth it. 
          
          Thank you to all once again, and happy one-year anniversary to me as a writer! :D

Hello to all my readers!
          Lately, I've been thinking to either post new chapters or consider editing all my chapters. I've found a couple of mistakes, and of course editing is vital in writing. I just thought I'd ask. A little help would be appreciated!
          Have a nice day/night!

            I agree to all you've mentioned. 
            There were some times where I'd wanted to rush the writing just for the sake of the plot, and there were inevitable moments of unrealistic setting. After pointing a few of those out, I think I should work towards making them better. Editing does seem tiring but its like an ornament to the story, it makes it better than it was before, and presentable if not professional. 
            Thanks for commenting! :D

@7Srishty You're completely right - editing is a very big part of writing. Perhaps it is best to look through it again; it's not bad to patch up mistakes every once in a while.
            
            Sometimes it's important to go through your story yourself - you're the only one who knows what's going to happen in future chapters. You'll be able to find things that hint at it a little too much, or you'll be able to place a few more hints so that the ending isn't all too sudden.
            
            Editing can be hard, however, sometimes you'll find yourself skimming. I suggest reading it aloud so you can see if the atmosphere you were trying to create has been flattened/interrupted by accident.

Please comment either here or on my book if you liked reading it! I am lacking behind on feedback and if I post the remaining chapters, it'd be of no use since I won't have readers. To all the 300 people who've viewed my book, please give feedback, for that is what'll motivate me to continue writing!
