Grrrrr

The worst thing about writing is how tedious it can be sometimes. Especially the editing part. Editing is definitely not my strong point. But it's not like I don't handle constructive criticism well or that I feel loss at chopping bits here and there of switching stuf around...I just would rather not do it. I love writing in the flow and churning out pages, I imagine painters must feel something similar when throwing paint on the canvas. Once it's done, let it set and dry. I was very surprised to learn that often painters go back and paint over a painting or other wise change it in some way, I didn't realize that.
Anyway. I think what also gets to me in the editing process is how asinine I find my own writing sometimes. I'll write something, I'll think it's completely brilliant and then go back over it later and see how stupid it is, or how facile or completely unoriginal. That sets my teeth on edge.
