In The Demons’ Head #234: Editing is a Bitch
August 16, 2015
Hello friends, fans, social world. If you look to the right of your screen you’ll notice that the date stamp on this post, doesn’t match the one on the sidebar. While normally I’d say it’s because I fucked up and forgot the blog, this isn’t the case this time. Though, I have to admit it’s kind of comical that I actually make a blog itinerary? Is that the right word? Fuck it we’re going with it. Within two weeks it gets all jacked up, no surprise there.

Hello friends, fans, social world. If you look to the right of your screen you’ll notice that the date stamp on this post, doesn’t match the one on the sidebar.

Why am I late?
Let me start by saying that it’s not for the same reason that your wife/girlfriend is late…. Unless you snuck into my bedroom without me knowing…
Either way, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to finish up editing on the first draft of this novel that I’m working on. I’ve learned that writing, creating, and working out your ideas is the easy part of being an author. It’s the editing that will fucking kill you.
Chasing the Dream
Most of the time people don’t chase their dreams and basically go on living lives of simplicity and all of that fun stuff. I don’t work that way. Instead I’ve decided that I’m chasing this dream of becoming a full time writer and with that means that I have to edit things…. God why can’t I write things perfectly the first fucking time?
Then again that would make me some sort of superhuman storytelling machine. I’d be okay with that.
What’s so Hard about editing?
It’s not that it’s hard, it’s not that it’s really that inconvenient. It’s just that it’s so damn time consuming. It also takes a lot more out of you mentally then writing does which goes to be said for the process itself.
All told, I expect to have this first book finished and into the hands of my editor by the end of next week. (Hopefully, provided I don’t run into some ridiculously huge ass snag… it’s possible) and then I’m onto editing book two of this series. I’ve got a lot of things in store for ya’ll provided that they continue to fall into place.
Afterward
