I’ve been editing and rewriting my novel lately, and it has been really painful for me. I am a native speaker of American English, and yet, I still struggle mightily when I write and finish an entire book and someone else comes along and tells me my writing needs so much work. I am an underwriter, so most of my struggle comes in the form of telling things that should be shown, and in not describing characters and the setting enough.
In this post, I just wanted to go over some of the things that I have come across during the editing process that I have struggled with or just seemed silly or made me laugh. Maybe you can relate.
