Hi,
I'm looking at myself in the mirror and wondering where all those dark circles around my eyes came from. Was it from reading? Writing? Or rewriting? I'm not sure because the division between each becomes blurred when you've gone over the same book so many times.
What's worse is when you're reading your own work and wondering "How could I have written that?" or "How did I not see those mistakes in grammar, run-on sentences and more?" My list goes on.
Which explains why the edits are taking longer than I expected. I can see more. Understand more. Which requires more focus and attention... and dark circles - are those the proofs of a good writer?
I don't think so. Because one thing I've learned so far is that easy reading means HARD WRITING. So it's back to the edits and wearing my dark circles again!
