It's v.s. Its

I know it's simple right?
Yet it seems that my brain only see's it's when I'm drafting. So I have to do an entire edit sweep to fix those. So I did and I finished it this morning.
I've finished my regular edits and formatting edits. So that just leaves a few theme updates to tie into the new title and I'll be passing the novel on to my alpha reader. A.k.a. Brittany, my wife.
While she's reading it I'll add in some more description. You know, because God's in the details.
I miss a lot of that in my first drafts. Describing colors, smells, sight and other things I see in my head but it didn't hit the page. Having the draft clean and in order will allow me to smooth out pacing, make those last few connections I missed, and bring out the details that will immerse the reader into the story and help them feel like they are the characters.
Have I told you how excited I am about this story?
I really like it and think it represents a vast growth in my writing from 'speaker' to this one.

Quick post

Zombie Wife is now A Season of Storms. It's 317 pages. About 70,000 words. I'm in spelling and grammer edits, which is my last run, so I'm hoping it'll be out to alpha this week, then Beta readers soon after.
I'm excited.

Zombie Wife Now In Manuscript Edits

This morning I put Zombie Wife into Manuscript format. Actually it's half way there. By tomorrow it it will be fully imported. Then I'll start the mega edit pass-through. A spelling, grammer, final notes, duplicate word usage, over usage, and anything else I can think of edit.
I also have a strong theme adjustment to impliment which will modify and maybe even build out a few scenes. But I need it in one document to do this. Also, this edit will enable me to rename the title effectively. Which is important. I've been wanting a title from the beginning that felt very 1960's end of the world experience novel feel like 'on the beach'. 
I have a few thoughts, but no commitments:
A Season of Storms
Summers Thunder
Waking Angel

Something like that.
What ever I choose, I'll run it past my beta readers to see what they think.
Zombie Wife works on an accuracy level, but I feel it was a quick pick so I could just get to writing already. I want a title that evokes passion and memory. My experience with titles like this is that it's like an incomplete story. It starts a rememberance and makes a promise that especially when remembered post novel reading evokes emotional memories. It can be tough at start, but later pays off.
