With no other new story idea burning in my soul, I took the opportunity today to go through my first edit on a story I call "Incursion". I finished the first draft of this a week or two ago. On this first edit I was just doing the basics.
The story is a tongue in cheek Lovecraftian tale, that I'll be branding as a "Lovecraftian short". the third of my stories in that mould. there may be a collection of these at some date in the future.
And a quote from the story...
- Checking for spooling mistaks.
- Making sure each sentence actually makes sense.
- Trying to remove repeated words that I repeat.
- Adding the odd detail to scenes to increase flavour.
- Correcting awkwardly worded bad sentences

And a quote from the story...
"Her name is Georgina." He explained.
"Is that a crystal ball?"
"Oh yes. She's very good with it."
I stared at the professor. "What is this place?"
"We are the governments special research and defence division."
"Special..." I was lost for words. "What sort of government work is Georgina doing with a crystal ball?"
