to edit or not to edit...that is the question

I'm currently waiting for the final galley proof for my second book, There's No Place Like Home, while I'm also editing the first round of the third book FIRST IMPRESSIONS. That's a lot of editing and reading that needs to be done.
In addition, I just wrote a novella for submission, have been working on my website blog and this blog and am trying to get a jump start on book four. PLUS I need to start book two of another series I have outlined.
A lot of edits and reading and writing that needs to be done!
I also need to live my life which includes my paying job, my dance preparations for next month's Keene Dancing with the Stars ( I'm doing the cha-cha), running a household, trying to get my 10,000 steps minimum in per day and....I could go on, but you get the picture. Suffice it to say I'm busy.
Back to the edits. Before I submit I usually put the work through 4-5 edits. It astounds me that I have to do more once it has been accepted. But I will admit this freely - every edit I have done at my editor's suggestion has made my work better. Really better.
SO, I will neither complain, bitch, or bemoan the editing process because it means I am getting published.
Silver lining there, folks!
