I truly resent the editing process. It is the most tiresome job and it feels like a chore to me. I don’t feel creative when I’m editing my work, but I know I need to revise my novel until I get it right. You use a different part of your brain when you’re editing and this is when your critical mind begins to notice every mistake you make. Writing is from the heart, while editing is from the mind.
Missing things! Finding double words, missing words, misspelled words, mixed up character names...! What's worse is seeing them after an editor has done their thing.

@Dan, I know exactly what you mean. I hate it when that happens. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe edits!! I can't stand the edits. I love to write by the seat of my pants, and finish. I don't like to go back and edit. Painful really....must go edit now....
ReplyDelete@Tonya, I'm with you on that. Editing is really painful, but I know I have to do it before sending the final draft to my editor. Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
ReplyDeleteI also hate the edits. It takes so long, when all I really want to do is do more writing. Drives me nuts!
ReplyDelete@Mary, you're not alone. A lot of writers seem to hate editing. Editing seems to remove the creativity in writing. Thanks for sharing!
