Editing Process

The hardest part about being an author is writing from your soul then having someone take a red pen and carve away at your precious work. This person is the editor. He/she is the necessary evil to the project. I spent weeks writing, printing, self proofing, re-writing and proofing again. I think I have it perfect but NOOOOO the editor thinks otherwise. So my book "I was Born to Be" is now at the editor getting the Red Pen treatment. I'm sure I'll get it all back bleeding and I'll be back with my lap top re-writing. I'm so anxious to get this thing published but I want it to be perfect so I guess I need the red pen treatment. I'm shooting for a May publishing date!!!

My other book "I was Born, Now What" will be released afterwards. I'm about to get that one back from the editor so I guess I can start fixing that book while I wait for "I was born to Be" to get back to me. Writing a book is like waiting for a baby to be born! AHHHHH!!!
