~ EDITING OCD ~
Does every new author become infected with EDITING OCD?
I edited my book countless times before I ever decided on the release date. I read it over and over again. I even edited my edits! Why wasn't that enough?
I uploaded my book and reviewed it once more for a little last minute editing, but that didn't satisfy me either. I uploaded and re-uploaded and re-uploaded...then...
I released my book almost two weeks ago and STILL I am continuing to edit it!
I am ready to check myself into an authors rehab clinic that specializes in EDITING OCD. I may well drive myself insane before I can convince myself that my book is as editorially perfect as it's going to get.
I am exhausted, but thankful for every experience I have had as a new author.
As part of the 12 step program I am about to enforce (on myself) I am NOT going to edit this blog before I publish! :P
Happy reading!!
