Gotta love the editing process. Here… let’s take the words that you spent so long trying to find, and we’ll change ’em. You liked that phrase? Too bad. That should be italicized, this should be quoted.
Really, as painful as it is sometimes, I always come out of the process with a book that is many times better than what went into the queue.
Today I start editing on Preja Vu, and just to add to the fun, it’s an editor that I haven’t worked with yet. I’m very excited, but nervous! What if she hates my work?
Okay, so I’m a little paranoid, but we writers put so much of our souls into our craft, and it’s hard to trust someone else with it. Even a professional. Okay, enough cry baby whining. I’ve got some work to do!
