But, hey, I love the creating phase as well. What can I say? I'm glad I happened upon your blog. Much luck with your book!Kathi Oram Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959149321213743448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467792088318570922.post-38442948093336152782010-03-14T04:42:31.588-06:002010-03-14T04:42:31.588-06:00I'll have to get back to you on that one.

I can't ever seem to find my own because I am so stuck in the process and know how it should be as opposed to how it actually is.Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467792088318570922.post-16838401596125958742010-03-13T22:36:16.557-07:002010-03-13T22:36:16.557-07:00I LOVE editing!

I love the challenge of being the one who makes it better. Kristine gives great tips, advice and direction, but knowing it has to be me that makes it happen is thrilling.Melissa Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067786807136441491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467792088318570922.post-15419906311396400482010-03-13T16:52:46.887-07:002010-03-13T16:52:46.887-07:00I've only recently become a fan of editing.

Once I realized what truly came out of it (not the horrid destruction of all my treasured darlings), I began to appreciate that editing is an art of its own. =]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467792088318570922.post-46937711493098829782010-03-13T16:45:23.783-07:002010-03-13T16:45:23.783-07:00I'm like you for sure.
