I have started some necessary cleaning in my office. But I must get back to my real writing.<br /><br />I have a difficult time editing my own writing. I fall in love with what I've written and hate to change it. But I can feel some editing coming soon in my life.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333789853886557070.post-50170397855507659782010-07-06T13:35:33.001-04:002010-07-06T13:35:33.001-04:00I edited out a lot of unnecesary text in mine as w...I edited out a lot of unnecesary text in mine as well.

I've never gone back to any of the stuff I've slashed, but it makes me feel better to save it - just in case :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333789853886557070.post-57536801892902383642010-07-06T08:38:29.586-04:002010-07-06T08:38:29.586-04:00I'm glad you're all relaxed and getting ba...I'm glad you're all relaxed and getting back in the mix. I know what you mean about the editing process. I usually spent at least twice the amount of time editing a project as writing one.<br /><br />I also sometimes experience something similar to you. I start writing a story, and by the time it is finished, I usually have to cut the first one to three chapters of backstory and re-write the opening.<br /><br />I've got just two chapters (about eight scenes) to finish on my current major project, and then it's on to big time re-writing.<br /><br />Best of luck to you during the editing and re-writing process. We'll all be looking out for you so you don't disappear into the abyss of editing Hell.<br /><br />Anyway, best wishes to you as you begin this process. I'm available for unprofessional and completely unwarranted advice and help whenever you need it - and like Betty Crocker - sometimes, even when you don't.True Life and Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194767305292360214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333789853886557070.post-41555633064780597002010-07-06T02:43:14.196-04:002010-07-06T02:43:14.196-04:00Glad you enjoyed your vacation, sorry about your p...Glad you enjoyed your vacation, sorry about your pc having a virus hard to get rid off once those start appearing,<br /><br />Yvonne,RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.com
