Edit Shmedit

Editing is one of these things like fun to do unless its like something you do for yourself.
Cause I often edit friends papers and such cause I'm the writer/editor/only one who pays attention in english. But, recently (as in August) I took up the task of writing up a story that buzzed around my head before 3-C week.
I shan't describe it yet but, let me tell you I will have this finished (published HA) by oh.. I think i promised myself December 31st 11:59:59 2008. Hmm with 3 chapters done and 9 months left it looks kind of bleak..but, I won't stop. Except to edit before Abby edits it.
And this is rather painful cause I'm just like wow, this sounded good when I wrote it and when I typed it I thought I made it better. But, now it just kind of looks like shi%t, is this really worth it..  don't know.  I understand that most writers go through this kind of depressive editing process and that we must work through it if we hope to finish the story. So I think I'll start pulling some NaNoWriMo and just write without a second thought and print it up for Abby (my writing pal) to red penify.

But it's gotta be done.

P.S. ironically I started this last night and when i came back to finish I had to hit "Edit"
