More Fun with Editing
I have new-found
respect for people who edit books for a living.
It's a laborious job. Going back
over my own work is fun but also draining when you consider that it warps your
own view of your work. I've had the same
problem in the past with other projects--you invest so much time and energy
that you are bordering on hatred by the time you complete the job. In writing, though, I have only been writing
characters I love so it is easier to spend time with them. At some point I will have to branch out and
invent a darker character that I don't like.
It's all a part of the growing and learning process, pushing yourself to
test boundaries and step outside your comfort zone.
