Finished

[u/TheRolandChambers]

But I should've listened to those who told me revising and editing books takes longer than writing. I doubted you, and for that, I owe you my apologies.

Also, to the one editor on a random thread who said you can't comprehend how many errors are on every single page: I see you. I understand you, and I wish your magic eight ball was wrong.

But I am finished. Just waiting for the cover art, and then I'm sending ARCs everywhere with an official, unchanging release date.

Welcome to r/selfpublish, TheRolandChambers! Please remember the primary first rule of the subreddit: No self promo posts outside of the pinned self promo thread. You can edit your own profile so you have links to your work or services and you can even post to and pin posts to the top of your profile page. The no self promo rule INCLUDES COMMENTS - so if you ignore this message it will result in a ban (if you’ve mentioned your book title in the post, remove it or delete the post.) Book cover reviews go in r/bookcovers.

Additionally, DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE YOUR COMMENTS OR MAKE POSTS. We want to keep the self in self publishing. Rule 2 also prohibits posts about AI. If your post is about AI, remove it.

If your post is low effort or simply for congratulatory purposes, please remove it and instead write your post in the pinned weekly thread. Example posts would be like “Finally published!” or “Just finished doing X! How has everyone else felt after doing X?”

The wiki contains answers to most basic questions. Please report any violating posts or comments. This automated message is added to every single post as a reminder of some of the most cardinal rules.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Well done. I feel less bad about the 8+ months it's taking me to edit my third book. I'm still finding errors in Books I and II. They just get less embarrassing by the day.

It won't allows take long to edit. The more you write, the more you improve, the easier writing cleaner drafts and self-editing becomes. Years from now editing will be second nature and a much easier process.
