“I have rewritten — often several times — every word I have ever published. My pencils outlast their erasers.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory
One of the ways I edit best is to print out my work and mark it up in pencil. A pencil with a good point on it works best for me. Sharp points help because I add rewritten sentences into the small spaces. That’s my way. Finding my own method to edit has really helped me through this process. I still have some editing ahead of me, but it feels much less than 6 months ago. Now it’s feeling likes bite sizes instead of huge chunks.
Do you have an editing routine that works for you?
