Starting from the 1st February 2014 the huge task of self editing our million draft words will begin in earnest. About a third of the draft words will have been subject to either professional or self editing already.
I do not approach the self editing task or scrutiny of professional editing with as much enthusiasm as I do my own original creative writing. From a very timely post by Sam Merry on the subject in the January 2014 Authors online newsletter I am not alone in having these feelings of reluctance. I have responded to Sam and will post a refined version of these Allrighters' comments in a later post.
