Writers: Self-Edit Tips for Success

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

Being able to edit your own work is a very useful skill!

[@Aegelis]

@@EmmaBennetAuthor Yes! A little guidance and a lot of practice has great benefits. Feels less like work and more like finishing touches on a cake.

You give very good advice, as always. I will admit that it took a long time for me to get out of the habit of self-editing while writing and just write. You can always edit after the work is done. I will be ordering you book, Psycho Author, tomorrow. After I read it, I will pick up the one you recommended in this video. I look forward to the read. Also, dig the white hat and tie look. :)

Great point! A writer can get so bogged down trying to edit while writing that they lose track of where they're going or taking too long to actually tell the story. Thank you very much! Happy to hear this is a help, would really like to read your thoughts on a review of Psycho Author and/or Specks of Shadow, Flecks of Light. Also, feel free to keep in touch anytime at Goodreads or by e-mail. I admit, I am a hat guy who will go from formal to casual for a day or event. Finally, if I can support you in your writing projects, I would be happy to. You've got some cool ideas from our last discussion, let's make them a reality!

@@Aegelis Of course, I'll be happy to accept your help. You've given me good advice throughout the years and we definitely have the same love for storytelling. I am working on some short stories right now. Will be happy for you to read them when the first drafts are done. I also have something in the pipeline which you will certainly have some interest. There will be a series of stories from the point of view of one Rewne Danlund. I am developing a world for him to inhabit and a grand story for him to tell. :)

@@Edwicker Short stories are excellent, and there is opportunity to make them available on e-book for $0.99 for us fans who like to read them.

@@Aegelis I've written a few short stories in the past. I would have to find them and do a rewrite to touch them up a bit as my thoughts on them have changed. I usually have ideas for much bigger stories, but I have decided to write some more short stories to get the juices flowing and perk myself up as I have been in a bit of a slump.

@@Edwicker Looking forward to it, send or link them to me anytime!
