Lesson #34 Proofreading, Editing, and Re-writing her Novel

All month long Evie has been working on her manuscript, the first draft, of the first part of her book. When she printed it out it was about 50 pages of single spaced writing. She was a NaNoWrimo "winner" during the month of November, by completing her word count goal of 25,000 words. One of the winnings received is being able to send in your novel and get five free printed copies of your book/writing in book form. The dead line to send in your work is early June, so she is working very hard to proof her book and edit as many mistakes as possible. She is also adding to her work as she goes. I am proud of her accomplishments thus far with her writing, I have not done anything to help her, yet, she is doing all the work herself right now, spending hours upon hours (without being asked) working on it. Ahhhh the beauty of homeschool learning.....
