Thou must edit...and edit again

Edit, thou must edit. 

I admit. Editing is not my forte. It’s probably my weakest point. 

Unfortunately, becoming a good writer without editing is like getting into the Olympics without training. 

You’re laughing. So am I. 

It just ain’t gonna happen. 

I’ve written over a million words over the past ten years. Probably three times that in the past twenty. 

I haven’t edited even 10% of those. 

How am I supposed to get better?

This year, I’m working on editing my writing. Rewriting. Posting on blogs. Sending queries to magazines. Reworking the novels I’ve started and stopped. I’ve got about three in my ‘Work in Progress’ folder.
