Does anyone have any tips for editing stories? I'm working on a rewrite for camp and honestly am having a hard time getting into it

It can help to request someone to read over your story. A BETA-reader of sorts, maybe? I don't know how Camp NaNoWriMo works, so I'm not sure if that is allowed? I just think it can help with editing your projects.

At this point, I don't really want anyone reading it, it's such a mess, I was jut wondering if anyone had any tips on how to keep motivated or just tips in general abou anything in particular to focus on.

Quick (not all that helpful) tips:
1) Stare at story.
2) Write until the ideas run out.
3) Stare at story some more.
4) Bang head against wall.
5) Attempt to write some gibberish.
6) Stare at gibberish.
7) Realize that there's a brilliant idea in that gibberish. Immediately set to work expanding that brilliant idea.
8) Realize that said brilliant idea had nothing at all to do with the original idea, and now you have a completely new story. Continue writing until the ideas run out.
9) Stare at story.
10) Repeat.

But I've already done that, this is the second draft and the time of random scribbling is over. I guess the best I can do is keep going

[Ranger of the North]

Would just having a vague idea in your head of the original and rewriting everything help? Maybe?

[TheSongOfTheStars]

That's pretty much what I'm doing.
Just keep swimming writing, just keep writing

XD wise words

Does anyone here write on fictionpress or know any good stories to read?

I've never heard of that o.o Are you looking for things to read anywhere, or just on fictionpress? c:

Anywhere is fine; fictionpress is just a site for original (and free to read) fiction stories that I recently stumbled across. Do you know of any good stories that don't cost money?
