So I finished my first edit of Kingdom of the Dead. Now the whole thing actually makes sense. I just have to go through it all again and fix awkward sentences, grammar, and add descriptions. Then I will proably have to go through it again. My first, as yet unpublished, novel took 5 edits, and I still need to go through it again to fix grammar problems. So the three or four edits of KotD is actually an improvement.
I have started writing my next novel, with the working title God's War. That is going to have to change, but at least it is better than "book", "story", or "ZombieboOk" which were the working titles of my other three novels.
I don't think you're ever through editing a novel until somebody accepts it.
