Do I owe you a reading or anything since you read the complete Tara? I'm still tweaking Tara, because things keep bubbling up.
In general, I'm really bad at editing because I gradually change more and more stuff and I really ought to end one story and begin another, so I'm trying to forestall that by outlining my next fifteen novels all at once.
But for what it's worth, this is how I edit: I read through the ms. on the computer trying to keep the same frame of mind I would use for critting on the workshop, and I jot everything that bothers me down in my composition book, but I don't stop reading. When I've read through, I go back and fix each thing noted.
