Editing your NaNovel

Editing your NaNovel *dun dun dun*

Is/Has anyone done/doing this ^? I am. I'm currently in the midst of reading my NaNovel (it's taking me a while 'cause I'm adding a bunch of (pessimistic) comments and I'm highlighting some stuff) and it's not as bad as I thought. However, it's still pretty bad. I felt like crying in parts that aren't sad. 

 So... "Why?" some of you (might) ask. Well, I want to get my proof copy of course! And I want to be proud of it too. And my family is reading it. And my friends whose mission in life is to make other people's lives terrible. :-P Oh, and it's my New Year's resolution.

 So how's your editing going? And did anyone here win? And is anyone making a proof copy? (I sound really nosy don't I? Sorry.)

back to the Inkwell

I am...  after I finish it.  And one of my resolutions is to finish it, then to edit it.  :)  I really think that I will also cry while reading my NaNo...  I read over the last 1000 words recently, and I was thinking that I must have been really really tired while writing it.  As I was while writing most of the things.  xD

And one of my New Year's resolutions is to write a lot more...  :)  And I am also planning to have a proof copy!

And now, for the questions that I didn't answer!  My editing is going...  No editing.  But I shall!  Later!  After I'm done writing it!  I won!  51,400 words!  :)  And...  I already answered that question without realizing it!  :)

Won NaNoWriMo, have an unfinished novel that I'm too scared to look at but that I plan on finishing an editing in time to get my proof copy. *slightly demented smile*

ZNZ, that is like mine.  Except more condensed, and makes more sense.  I envy you.  I can never condense things easily...  I have to go on rambling about things, getting distracted...

I won. I didn't get a proof copy. I am not editing it and don't want to. I edited last year, but this year I don't like the novel I wrote as much.
