Normally when I finish an edit of a story, I switch to a different story for a while. That way when I return to the first story, I can see it with fresher eyes.
But this time I'm tried something else. I finished a big edit a few ago. I would spend half an hour on a few paragraphs, or one very tricky paragraph. Then I immediately started from the beginning. I had spent so much time on the details that the next time I could read it pretty quickly! I just needed to do some minor smoothing. It would take about half an hour per chapter, instead of per paragraph.
Mostly I wanted to do this so I could read my story while it was all still fresh in my mind. It let me test the continuity.
But I actually enjoyed just reading the story, for a change!
I just finished a few days ago. Cool!
