I tried to review a section of Door 17 this morning and ended up fixing a sentence that did not need attention. I stared at it for a while and put it back the way it was. The book is fine. I am the problem.
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

oops! Editing is a hard job I admire you for being able to edit a manuscript!
Yes. It is irritating when I do that. But, for a laugh. Why not?
That’s right! lol It’s all part of the process.
I can totally relate!
LOL I hear you, Eugi!
I do that with songs that I write. I can’t ever “finish” one. Sigh.
Sigh is right. I feel your pain, Jeff.
We all go through that… ay, revisions! That is why I am so happy when I turn in the final galleys. I am done, like it or not 🙂
Right on! That’s when you can breathe again. lol
blue or red pencil
with which to stencil
and correct perhaps
your rough draftz
LOL I love that! It’s perfectly said.
I totally relate! Sometimes the more we stare at something, the less sense it makes. 🙂
Thanks, Jan. That is so true! I’m tellin’ ya’!
I think we’ve all been there!
I think so! LOL You are right.
I bet a lot of people have had the same issue. I spent three days on three paragraphs, gave up and moved on.
I bet they do, too. I hear you on the paragraphs and spending 3 days on them.
I feel your pain, Kymber! I try to edit as a I write, but I find it’s best to let ‘er rip and then touch things up later.
I find that best, too. Although I do sort of edit along as well. This is my final read-through before sending it to the editor. It’s slow-going, I’m finding. lol
I get that completely, having the same “perfectionist” bent! 🙃 Wishing you much success with your upcoming book. 💫
LOL I knew you all would understand. 😂🤣 Thank you so much.
Ahh, the joys of editing. I’ve had this happen time and time again. Have fun with it but sometimes don’t. 😂✌️💗
LOLOL That’s right! You get it. haha😂🤣
