After about two weeks away from editing, I got back to editing my memoir last week, doing at least one chapter a day. Someone said staying away from your writing then going back later can give a you a fresh perspective on your work. That appears to have been true for me. From what I have looked over so far, I found errors I had not previously caught and some phrases and details I decided could be deleted. And some things I wanted to add now that I had not thought of before. This is all part of the process, I have come to see.
I'm beginning to feel I've gotten stronger with writing, as the above graphic states. It sounds like a good idea to believe.
Another statement I can agree with.
I'm glad your editing is going well. Love both those sayings.
ReplyDeleteI am very glad to hear you are getting back to it. And that the break has done you good.
