Editing is boring
Posted by Andrew Girle on July 23, 2012
I have my novel, No Working Title, open with my editor’s notes side by side with my manuscript.
I’m up to chapter 6 out of 22.
And here I am, on wordpress. Cause, meet effect.
Before you throw rocks at me, I’m fully aware that the work NEEDS to be edited, and every comment so far has moved the story to a better place. But MAN!
WHINE!
DON’T WANNA!
*stampy feet*
*deep breath* Now that is off my chest, it is back to the editing.

That must be some editor you have there if the story is only getting better! 😉 And yes, I too hate editing – and sometimes writing too. Keep going, it’s really good. 🙂

The Gumshoe Grimnoire stalled two days ago, so I thought I better use some quiet time to apply those edits. Up to Chapter 8 now!

Haha, I doubt any of us likes editing their own work. You can whine and stomp as much as you like!

Yeah I know, and I am the first to admit that my work needs editing with a petrol powered scalpel!

I’m lucky – I’ve got an editor working on draft 5 with me (no, not a publishing house editor, but an editor all the same).

I love the *stampy feet* at least you admit it! lol
