If I were to ever have one, I'd have to work myself to the bone to get ready for her. <br /> Re Editing: <br />I have learned to edit as I go through the first draft. I can't help it. I also edit at a later reading. Sometimes the editing process takes me longer than the original writing.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-77941524526622864382010-09-23T01:09:57.443-05:002010-09-23T01:09:57.443-05:00I somewhat agree with Susan on this, I don't t...I somewhat agree with Susan on this, I don't think I need to edit when it's just God and me:) Otherwise, I take some time to edit (and I hate it.....lol).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-27551314050208297462010-09-22T21:48:04.939-05:002010-09-22T21:48:04.939-05:00Hi Jen -

While I like the end results of cleaning, the process doesn't excite me.<br /><br />I wouldn't let anyone see my journals. I'm glad God's more concerned with my heart than my grammar and neatness.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

The question ...We share so much, my kindred spirit. The question I would ask is, if you could live life over what would you do differently? My answer: I'd have a cleaning lady. On the other hand, a lot of my editing and rewriting happens while vacuuming, dusting, and mowing the grass. Maybe I wouldn't have written anything if I had never cleaned. Come visit me. White gloves not needed. You already know it's dirty. But, my copy is pretty clean.Elaine W. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180843077491105642noreply@blogger.com
