Editing......

So I am going through my first full-length story, editing..... hmph. I finished writing it just before Christmas, and then I got lazy and set it aside, not bothering to edit it until now. I want to get it all completed by the end of June, so I can give a copy to my friend for her birthday, since the story is all about my friends and I, and is loaded with a bunch of inside jokes. I think she will enjoy it... I actually gave a copy to my other friend for her birthday in January, yes, before I edited it thoroughly :S. That wasn't a good idea, because after I gave it to her I re-read it and found tons of mistakes! So I need to start at the beginning again, and mark up my copy. Wish me luck! Though my schedule will be kind of tight, especially with finals the same week as her birthday! Eek! I got to hurry!
