Editing

Looking back at what I've written, it's funny how little things I never noticed come to the forefront. At one point I had my protagonist sitting in her bed, and in the next instant she was in a chair.  Editing is a necessary thing. What I have trouble with...what I've always had trouble with, is focusing. So when I'm editing I'm forced to focus. It's a skill some people are born with. And I envy them their ability to naturally concentrate on what they're doing. Some might call what I have ADD. But I'm not sure just what it is that causes me to skip over details. I've finished my second edit of my manuscript "Voyage of Dreams". I'll go over it again before I send it off to the publisher. He may want more changes. That's okay with me. I'm just happy to have someone besides me say that I've written a good story. Most of this accomplishment is not talent or luck, most of it is determination. Keep at it. If you love to write, keep at it. Something good will happen.
