Some of you found more than my eyes caught; I applaud you for your editing expertise.
Do you enjoy finding and fixing your mistakes? We grow by editing our superfluous words, and tacky attitudes.
I do enjoy editing, for the most part. It's like cleaning in that there's a concrete result where I can measure my work and see what I've done. :-)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy editing and when I get critted chapter back I am amazed to see what one pair of eyes missed but another found. I think for each edit or mistake we learn. If not, why bother trying in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI too love having someone edit my work:)) We rarely see our own mistakes as well.
ReplyDeleteJessica: I'm laughing at different perspectives here--I see cleaning as an unrewarding effort, since nothing ever STAYS clean, whereas in writing, you at least have a finished product sometime!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen -
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun contest. Congrats to Caroline!
I'd rather edit other people's work than my own. Perhaps I need more craft books on self-editing. :)
Blessings,
Susan
That was a fun post!
ReplyDeleteMore! More!
P.S. Wore my blood tangerine top in Nashville!
Congratulations, Caroline!
