It might mean I’m weird, but I enjoy editing.<\/p>\n

There. I\u2019ve said it. I always like reading over my work after I\u2019ve let it sit for a while, and editing lets me do that. Before I started self-publishing, I almost never<\/em> read my work after it was published because I saw mistakes that I couldn\u2019t go back and correct. But when an editor sends back suggestions\/changes, it gives me a chance to see the book from someone else\u2019s perspective. That’s usually helpful.\"Editor\"<\/p>\n

I remember the first book I wrote, Impatient Passion<\/em>. The publisher had told me how much she enjoyed the book. The first thing I read from the editor was what a great book she thought it was, and how there were not many edits. Yippee, I thought. The book is good and there are only a few changes.<\/p>\n

Then I turned the page.<\/p>\n

There were so many Track Changes markups I could hardly see the text. What would a book look like that had many<\/em> edits? I wondered.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I soon got the hang of what I was supposed to do and there\"Editing\" aren\u2019t so many changes marked by editors now. Impatient Passion<\/em> was the first time I\u2019d ever been edited, excluding school where \u201cediting\u201d meant being graded. I didn\u2019t view it as a fun experience then. Since then I\u2019ve come to accept that it\u2019s a part of the writing process\u2014a good part!<\/p>\n
