(When I wrote fanfiction, I’d usually start a new doc every 20,000 words or so, even if it was in the middle of a story.) Our doc was 75,000 words. When you’ve got a big document, Google Docs starts to slow down. All 3 books were written in Google Docs, and we wanted to edit using the ProWritingAid add-on for Docs. We both have lifetime subscriptions to ProWritingAid. Since we’re ~17 hours apart, depending on Daylight Savings, it would save a ton of time. That way we’d catch everything and neither of us would slow the other down. For the line edits, we thought it would be faster to each do our own read-through with our own Track Changes edits. We’d always written and edited together in real time, so when plot or character problems arose, we could talk it out right then.
After the developmental edits, we jumped right into line edits. I talk about what it’s like writing with a co-writer in this post. ProWritingAid can’t edit in chunks on Google DocsĪfter we whipped up a 73,000 word novel (we didn’t actually whip anything it whipped us… for months) we did a huge developmental edit on all three books. Say goodbye to typos, passive voice, awkward sentences, and more when you use ProWritingAid’s free editing software on your writing. ProWritingAid is a grammar checker, style editor, and writing mentor in one package. Well, I say we’re doing a final line edit, but what I really mean is she’s zooming through a final line edit and I’ve been torturing myself with PWA for 2.5 weeks. I’m currently editing the third book in the LGBT romance series my co-author and I are finishing up (this segment is bi M/M) and we’re doing a final line edit before we rapid release all three books. Witch Soup is a romantic comedy short story featuring Delta and Naomi, the soon-to-be-in-love modern witches from my upcoming contemporary fantasy series, Avalon!verse. Here’s my honest review of ProWritingAid. I thought I’d never find a “con” for PWA, but I just did. ProWritingAid helped me edit two stories for flash fiction contests, including my Midwinter!verse prequel, Witch Soup. I loved it so much when I tried it that I got the lifetime license and haven’t regretted it. I’ve used ProWritingAid for a little over a year now.
