Editing #2

I officially hate editing.  I am almost 1/3 of the way through the current WIP and I've now lost the will to live.  Grammar is becoming a mystery to me and I am no longer capable of telling apart quality writing and dire writing.  I don't know if my characters are true to the era or even stand scrutiny.

And yet... if I do not edit those ten months of writing are wasted and I might as well use the story as kindling.  It is a vital process without which my work has no way of finding it's way out of my laptop and into the real world.

Oh well, I shall unwillingly drag myself back to it.
