Those of you who have frequented this blog before now will know that it mainly features a novel entitled 'The Companion'.
Some of you may also have heard that I am editing this novel with a view to submitting the first three chapters to some-one in the world of publishing.
With this in mind, I would like to say a few words about OU blogs, and their relevance to editing.
An OU blog is searchable. I have numbered all the parts of my novel that I have published here, and that has enabled me to search for any given part. If a given word, character or place name becomes important, that can also be searched for. These features are very useful because it makes the material easier to work with than a set of individual Word documents.
I have had very valuable comments from readers of this blog, which I am carefully re-reading during the editing process. Some of them are stylistic. Some of them resolve individual typos. All are welcome.
