the editing - not as painful as imagined

[callawrites]

When I've had a chance this weekend I've been working on my story from Nanowrimo last year. (wip: SM) I'm actually shocked to say I'm not horrified by it. shock! :D but in a good way. I was reading along, and other than some setting details and character physical descriptions there's not a whole lot wrong with it. Well... let me rephrase... not a whole lot that needs major work. Nearly every sentence needs a few words deleted or some re-wording, but the actual story is done pretty well. I'm encouraged to continue working on it.
of course i had to come on here at 12:15am to tell you that. not just wait until tomorrow.. or later today. oh well. not feeling that tired yet.

haha.

I have a story like this, too. Its just got to be fluffed up and edited. Its awesome to hit something on the head the first time.

yes! wouldn't it be nice to get it right the first time? I think after my writing class i'm getting closer to achieving that. as long as i don't get too off track, this year's nanowrimo story should be decent.
