"Don't self-edit your book."
Every heard that?
It's one of those lines like "Show, don't tell."
Uh, please tell. Just do it at the right time. ð
And please self-edit. Just don't be the only editor for your book.
Self-editing is a crucial part of the process. Telling a writer not to self-edit is like telling a singer not to listen to her recording to see where she needs improvement. ð¤
It's not easy to hear yourself (sometimes it's downright embarrassing), but that's what you gotta do to get better.
If you struggle with "listening" to your words, sign up for the live self-editing workshops I'm giving at the end of January. A big-picture workshop and line-editing workshop designed to help you see what needs work and how to fix it.
Waitlist closes tomorrow. If you want to jump in, comment "Sing," and I'll send you the info. ð¶
