Quote

I've written under the radar for quite some time, and I always looked at editing as writing.

The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.

I love the idea of leaving some of the original abstract thought in, because the problem is that when you pick up a pen you become a snob, your own worse critic. You edit yourself in a way that is non-creative.

Writing is just very difficult. I'm an adequate performer. And I think I have a special talent as an editor. Editing is what I do best.

I'm really happy to have the chance to talk about the editing process. It's something that I think doesn't get the weight it deserves, especially with the rise of self-publishing.

I'm a big fan of editing and keeping only the interesting bits in.

I'm not a writer, but I'm very good at editing. That's my specialty. I can read something and tell you everything that's wrong with it and what's great about it and what needs to change, but it's hard for me to organize my thoughts.

Writing is a creative process, and you need to have the doors and windows of your mind open so that you have the possibility of change.

In the world of book writing, an author really gets to have control over what he or she writes, which is why it is very satisfying. With the help of a great compatible editor, you really have something in the end you can call your own.

I do a lot of brainstorming with my editors.
