Editing
I am back briefly. I just wanted to know if anyone really hates editing? I am in the midst of editing my stuff, boy it is boring. It is hard to choose which lines should be gone from that story or poem.
When you put your herat and soul into something and then re-read it and realise that a couple of lines shouldn't be there.
I am just finding it hard to get rid of some of the stuff.
Anyway back to Spag's editing room I go.

Sorry for posting it three times
It's always easier to edit other people' stuff than your own. But if you feel a line should be there, chances are, it should! I tend to cut out lines and paste them into a separate document so they're not lost forever. It works well - I had a section that I really liked but really didn't work where it was in my novel and once I cut it out, it was a lot easier to finish the chapter, and the bit I cut out later ended up as starting a chapter in its own right.
Hey Emily, that is interesting. Never thought of doing that.
Hmmm maybe I can write a poem of my cast offs and it will be great, I hope.
Cast offs
could make rather excellent
broken verse

Surreal.
I am gonna do it. Just have to finish editing my bag loads of poems and stories.
