More thoughts on editing
Yep, I'm still at it. As a matter of fact, I set my foot down yesterday, informed my online writing buddies I would be scarce, shut out the world and got down to business. I did 8 hours of editing yesterday, woo hoo me! I am determined to be finished before April is over.
The thought came to me last night as I was working that editing is tedious, but it MUST be. It's seeking perfect grammar and punctuation while panning for gold. Each word must earn it's right to be there. You read a paragraph out loud until it sounds exactly like you think it should if you were reading a book that's not your book.
If any axiom applies to editing, it's the old "one day at a time" deal. Even though I have a tentative goal in mind to be finished by, I can't let that be my main goal. The main goal is making the page I am working on today the best it can be.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
