…I really do. Writing is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy creating stories, characters, and worlds. It’s incredibly fun for me.

There is one thing about the writing process that I don’t like, however… editing. I hate editing. I know it’s necessary. I know it has to be done. I just hate doing it.

Some of it is that I don’t like finding mistakes. Obviously, I make mistakes. I know that. But finding mistakes that I’ve made can sometimes be frustrating. Especially if it’s something obvious, something that shouldn’t have been missed as I was writing it.

Another thing I don’t like about editing is that I’m not the best at it. While I consider myself above average, grammatically speaking, I’m not an expert. I don’t know all the rules about sentence or paragraph structure. Hell, most of what I know about writing is stuff that I’ve carried with me since elementary school and I’ve been told that even some of that is wrong.

I wish I had the money to be able to pay someone to do it all for me. Of course, if I could find an awesome person who enjoys editing and wanted to do it for free, that would be even better. I know I’m never going to get them perfect, but that’s never my goal. Attaining perfection is impossible. All I can do is go over the things I write and make them as good as I can. That way, good or bad, everything I write is me.
