I'm not terribly good at editing, though it is my wont to polish my writing to death... Thus usually my stories, or more like the scenes I write don't ever even leave my head. Part of that is because what I write is rarely ever as compelling once committed to paper as it was in my brain.
I know part of the reason for that is that inside my head all that I imagine is connected to any emotion that I have about the scene, while electrons on a screen lack that connection and I just don't seem to usually make it.
Beyond that, and into editing... I was rereading yesterday's post, and considering how to change it a bit... The polishing thing... mostly I noted that I left a lot hanging when I put this up. Then again, these are about as raw as writing gets. I barely have even proofed them for spelling (provided my spell chequer doesn't mist a word... or Moore) and really haven't reviewed them to make sure I didn't leave dangling bits and pieces all over the place. Which my read showed me... :( Actually, I'm glad I can see what I'm doing wrong in the way of writing. Now maybe if I can get Cal/Denae to leave me alone so I write what the audience would like to see rather than what bubbles up from the swamp... Of course no one would have problems with some of what is going on with Cal if he wasn't a male being forced into a female mode, even if he was toying with that as the story notes.
