I had no idea. I asked one published author the most surprising thing about first being published (on her 9th published novel now) and she said she wished she realized how much work it took. I recently spent five hours editing a 1200 word essay. Really?!? 1200 words?? Ugh - but seeing the improved product is motivation enough. If it isn't, we probably shouldn't be doing this "writing thang!" Thanks for a great reminder...I often think I'm better than I am! Work...Work....Work....Edit...Edit....Edit.... Be humble!

I'd add one more--sometimes we writers know what we mean to say, are aware of some element of backstory, even know about things that are important, but we neglect to put them in or don't make them clear in the manuscript. I've been called on this more than once by my wife, who is my first reader. I agree--we all need one or more pair of eyes other than our own going over a manuscript.Richard Mabryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993592219849830777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-43877707460873688662014-11-18T08:29:09.384-05:002014-11-18T08:29:09.384-05:00Jody, this is such a beautiful post and it applies...Jody, this is such a beautiful post and it applies to all of life, I think. As a pre-published writer whose been writing for several years, I feel like I am constantly learning more and more how much I have to learn. I've revised and revised my original manuscript many times, only to get more feedback from a published author or critique partner that sends me back to revising again. Because I feel called to write, and feel the Lord has given me talent and a vision, I go back and do the work. It's easy to get distracted by the faults I see in others' writing, but that is not helpful nor humble! Not only have I grown as a writer the past few years, but also as a person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
