Think Tank || Your Editing Tips!
IT'S HALFWAY THROUGH NANO & who wants to think about editing? ...Yeah, I didn't think so. But rather than thinking about editing your work-in-progress, I want to think about editing as a whole - & particularly how you confront it.
I feel no creative gush while editing as I do when I'm writing a first draft. Parsing, examining, patching up holes, trying to add more story to a flow that was so organic at the outset...not a lot of fun for me! But editing has to happen because none of us can write a perfect manuscript on the first try. Sad, but true. Since I've got one eye on the market for editing tips anyway, I thought I'd throw out a forum for my followers.
Yes, do! So many people have such beneficial insight into editing which I // you // others might never have thought of before. I want to compile all your advice & put it together in a followup post. Do it for science! Do it for your children! Do it for the future of the human race! Also do it for me because I hate editing & I need help.
personally, i hate editing
