I'm...Lol, I don't edit... very much anyway. I'm trying to get into the habit haha! In fact I'm getting my first real taste of editing my good sized whopping 300-400 page manuscript that I finished back in 2007-2008! (Now that's a big number for me, before that it was 110 pages or less and even anything above 70 to 90 pages was rare, big improvement lol)<br />But this should be fun going back and re-reading it... my writing skills at that time are not so good... I'm embarrassed to read it even myself lol.Jazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-5629527795346150852010-09-09T07:52:39.260-05:002010-09-09T07:52:39.260-05:00This is definitely one of those 'things' a...This is definitely one of those 'things' about being a writer, isn't it?<br /><br />A quick story--there's a best-selling ABA (mainstream) author who was first pubbed back in the 80s, I believe. Worked her way up, gained that best-seller status . . . and then rewrote and released some of her earlier books because, "I love the story, but I cringe at how I'd written it."<br /><br />Even successful, award-winner, million-making authors can't stand the books that first made them sometimes. =) Definitely a growing process.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
