How do you edit your novels? Do you print it out and then attack it with a red marker or do you just read it through on the computer and do the changes? Share your tricks because I have no idea how to start. Thanks.

Oh maaan, I printed it out and yes do the red marker thing. Okay, well not really... it's a red PEN since the marker's a bit too thick to scribble around... or blue if I don't have red. But yeah, apparently printing a 50,000 word novel is pretty thick...
And THEN I edit in the soft copy after doing so.
Definitely not editting this year's Nano cause that isn't worth editing but doing it for others of course.

I just do it on the computer, and went to almost all of the sites that were recommended on the forums. They are really useful.
By the way, how much editing have you guys done? And how is your story progressing as compared to how you started out? Mine's going slowly, but still chugging along xD
