Editing?

[kitty_fic]

What? Why? How? Help!

This is one of the reasons I know that I'm not cut out to be a professional writer.

Editing... I hate it. :C

How do you stand reading and rereading the same words over and over again. And I'm only working on about 3-4k... how does anyone edit long things?

But seriously what is your process? How do you get through it without banging your head on a wall. *looks at wall longingly*

Every single time, I start to write I go over what I have so far and edit it. Then I continue to write by the end of a story I have edit it more than 10 times and still do it before sending it to a beta and then when I get it back. Do I love it? No, but still must be done. However, at the end I know that story back and forth :) and sometimes end up hating it because of how many times I read it.

So true!

But yes I feel that way too- after I've read it so many times I'm sick of it!
