Success In Writing: It's Not About The
Editing (For Beginners Eyes)


Success In Writing: It's Not About The Editing
(For Beginners Eyes) (by Susan James)

Ideally, yes.....having the perfect looking book for all to see is the
overall intention. And its not any one persons job to raise the image
of self publishing, through their perfect editing.

It is our job to do the best we can from where we are in each moment;
and we all are in different places in each moment, than some others.

If I had followed all of the suggestions to get everything perfect
before I released my first book, then I'd be slinging hamburgers
somewhere, (not that there's anything wrong with that !)

I offer this writing purely for the new person to writing, who wants to
write and have their book acknowledged in some way, even if its just
for the thrill of holding that very first book in their hands and that
pure joy from seeing it and feeling it.

For the new beginning writer, there are many challenges, that could be
standing in the way of the perfect edited book, finances being one of
them. Finances is a big one for many.

If you are a new writer and feeling a bit frustrated by all of the shoulds
of writing, before you put out your first book, I've posted a partial
essay on my own story here, on a blog.

Write Your Book.....and Get It Out HERE! Do The Best You Can
 From Where YOU Are, and don't be concerned about where anyone
else is.

I agree that one need not be anal about editing but on the other hand, what you show the world ought to represent you, and the language, well. Our writers group has struggled with how much we ought to edit submissions for our annual anthology. I am of the view that it represents us all and that glaring errors and problems must be corrected. I also agree that you never get it all right. After many rewrites, and professional editing elsewhere, my novel has an error on page one - GRRR. Malcolm Watts
