It's my favorite part of writing. :) And thanks! God, I love that moment when the characters just take over and the story writes itself. It’s my favorite part of writing. :)

I'm a nitpicker, so I edit as I write and edit when I finish, and then put it away for a while and edit some more later. Considering I often also mentally edit books as I read them, I don't know that it's ever possible for me to consider something totally perfect. If I actually like the first draft, despite its flaws, then I know I've got something worthwhile. Following that, I take it back and revise three to four times before even sending it to a friend to read. For novels, I sometimes revise less before showing it to people, but much more following their feedback. Thanks!

Wishing you all the best. Are you someone who edits and edits and edits, or do you just write something once and its meant to be that way? I find myself needing to edit a lot just to have something workable. How do you guage when something is good enough for print? thanks for your thoughts. L Great blog, Anna. Wishing you all the best.
