Week 24 – Editing is Terrifying
Something that I don’t often discuss about the writing process is the editing. There’s a reason for that: I hate doing it. Going over your work with a fine-toothed comb and asking yourself “Keep it? Change it? Reword it? Cut it?” about every sentence is a laborious and nerve-wracking process, and it doesn’t get any better if you have someone else do it for you… in that case, depending on how nice your editor is, you may see large chunks of your hard work chopped away and thrown out.
VDrake gets the first look at everything I write, and while sure, having your best friend edit your stuff may not be the most objective method of doing it, he works for free and his instincts are usually right on the money. He’s being a huge help in the ongoing Tasakeru editing process, natch. For all you writers out there, I suggest getting a VDrake of your own to assist you.
One more week to go until I can make my announcement about the Big Thing™ that’s happening at the end of the month. I’ve kept it hush-hush for six months now, but it’s almost time. It’ll be worth the wait.
