I finally had to stop myself from reviewing and #editing my #memoir following the initial comments from my editor. It will soon be in her hands, and hopefully she’ll like the #changes I’ve made.
Do all #writers find it difficult to stop editing? Are we ever satisfied with what we write? I suppose the need to keep fixing things is related to assuring ourselves that others will #love our stories. Perhaps fear of disappointment plays a role. I believe we should be #proud just because we accomplished something so remarkable. It is difficult to write a book. Let’s #celebrate!

I’m never satisfied with what I write. Which is why I never edit my blog. I write, cursory glance and hit publish. If I started editing I’d never publish anything

Not sure that strategy would help me sleep at night… but happy to hear it works for you.

Then it comes down to why you need to continually edit

First drafts should be left just to pour out of me, otherwise, I’ll forget (chemo brain) – and I still do forget. Editing is to remove the junk and to write tight…

I do that for other writing….I drive myself crazy! Blog I do for fun. If I edit it’s no longer fun
