Sorry about that! Anyways I am actually not a big fan of editing. It's kind of a daunting job for me. I'm currently working towards finishing up a book that I will be pitching to an editor in March. I want it so to be perfect so badly, but I'm terrified that I haven't done a good enough job. That said, the one thing I do enjoy about editing is finding all the funny sentences and one-liners you inserted into the story. That's always fun to discover! :) Plus you realize that it's okay, you did the best job you could have done on your story. No need to fret. :)Emily Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751974917244803329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-80126066458770208752014-12-18T21:36:13.999-06:002014-12-18T21:36:13.999-06:00I actually like rewriting.

I guess it's knowing that what I wrote had problems and was really bad, and now I'm making it better. And soon, hopefully, it will be good. I think my favorite part is when I get a critique back. Cause then I see it's not as bad as I thought and I get honest criticism and it's wonderful.
