Editing is a necessary pain

safieriSometimes I think the editing portion of a piece takes more effort than actually writing it. You've finished the story you wanted to get down and are so excited! You want to just put it up and share it with the world!
BUT. It's not ready yet. Having another pair of eyes (or several more pairs of eyes) look it over will improve things so much. I especially need those extra pairs of eyes, my dialogue tags are horrible. Granted I've gotten a lot better at it over the years but still, they can be pretty bad. There's also those awkward sentences or passages that no matter what I try still come out feeling weird. Time and another opinion irons those out.
I know all this. I've even told other writers that getting someone to proofread their stuff will make a profound difference. Regardless....I REALLY JUST WANT TO POST MY NEW CHAPTER!! XD Damn this impatience! It's been soooo loooong since I've updated Favorite Form and I just want to put it up! Gah! Need to focus my nervous energy on something else! Too twitchy to sit and work on the next chapter though. Too bright and beautiful outside to work on my horror short story. Maybe some vacuuming....
