Edit Hell

I'm editing my MS and it's weirdly enjoyable. It's like I'm back in grade school and been gifted with the teacher's red pen. Yes, I always tried to be the teacher's pet.

I am getting to some scary sections that really need to be rewritten. But I knew this was coming. I needed to have thrown whole scenes out months ago bit I was a coward. I didn't want to waste a single word but bad writing is not worth keeping ~ even when it inflates one's word count and ego.

I guess that's a newbie mistake ~ clinging to writing that is no good.

Well ~ as soon as the day job let's out for the day, I'm back over to the red pen!
