What a great editing day it's been today! While waiting in the city for my son to do some volunteer work at the film festival office, I sat at a coffee shop and wrote a partial chapter to replace the one I hated. I am really happy with this addition as, I believe, it helps to complete an element of tension for one of my protagonists that wasn't clearly set out previously.
Gotta get back to it, but thought I'd share.

I am the Moon
You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Go you! I'm really glad to hear that it's going well. It seems that often by the time a debut book is finished, the author has learned so much that their earlier chapters irk them. I've certainly found that myself. I'm really glad to hear you're having so much success with yours. Here's to more days like this!

I've discovered that I edit better on hard copy. It allows me to see various versions at the same time. Not looking forward to entering all the changes in later though! :-)
That does sound like a fair bit of work! There are a number of knowledgeable people (like Anne Mini, for one) who advise editing in hard copy. That's not something I'm prone to do, though, because I'm just so used to the computer screen. Whatever works, right? Glad you've found your best method.
That's because I'm older than you... the paper-based generation! And yes, I do feel guilty about killing all those trees.
