I always find it a little harrowing to get used to a new editor. Until I know their style I tend to read ever stupid little bit as criticism of my baby. It’s as irrational as unavoidable (or at least I have no clue how to stop those initial bristles). And it sucks.
I have the great good fortune of a partner, though, who does an excellent job of setting my head straight. So here goes my best effort at sucking it up, Princess, and doing the professional thing — sit my ass down and edit.
From what I’ve seen and heard from stalking you guys like I do, this is a pretty normal response to have. Good luck with the edits. Hope they’re going ok.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. It’s just so counterproductive, it drives me bonkers. Anyway, nothing for it but to dive straight in. Thanks for the pep talk.
Just crusin’ by to see how the edits were going and to cheer you on. Rah rah rah.
Well, hello gorgeous. Aren’t you a darling.
It’s dripping more than pouring, but at least it’s still doing something. I can’t seem to get the same heady rush for editing that I get for writing (I know, boo-hoo). Besides, I want to write no.2, not edit no.1. And now I’ll stop whining and get back to work.
Thanks heaps for stopping by.
lol yeah, I can imagine editing is not nearly as crankin’ as the writing. But as long as it’s still doing something, it counts as good. Ya know, progress and all that jazz. 😉
Sends you all the good editing vibes I can muster. *makes squinty good vibes sending face* (<— that totally helps. It's a little know secret. It's aaaaall in the squinty face. 😉 )
You’re cute when you squint. (And I think I felt the vibes.)
