Well, I have to admit, I have written a story that needs editing. I abhor editing. To me, going over a story reaffirms to me that maybe I should not be writing, even though I cannot stop. It's like Jen said in her previous post, it's just what she does. Me, it's also what I do.
I took a writing class where a professor (whom I admire) stated the best part of writing is the editing. It's where you really get a chance to "shape" your story. I think my eyes were bulging out of my head and my jaw was on the desk. This statement made me ask, "am I weird?" Why do I hate it so much. Maybe part of me has not gotten past the point where I feel once I write something, I've written it(aren't I full of myself). Maybe I'm lazy. Tell me what do you think? Do you like editing? Am I crazy or lazy?
That being said, seriously let us know what you think. We would love to start some input. Maybe you'll enjoy the blogversation so much, you'll want to be a follower. Some c'mon masses, say something!
Well, thank you for letting me vent.

Hi.
ReplyDeleteListen to your professor: the best lessons are the hardest ones.
Editing is crucial. It can help you avoid mistakes like the typo in your second last sentence.
Good luck.
Thank Zooey for pointing that out....so my point boys and girls, I just must be lazy.
ReplyDeleteSo Zoeey this is the second comment you posted and I am pleased that we do have a follower.
Not an official follower, the first spot is still open. But I can safely say there is a mass to out masses.
