Editing

My greatest downfall as a writer is editing. While spelling and grammatical errors make me cringe, editing my thoughts before they appear on the page induces overwhelming tension and aggrevation. I do not hesitate to ask writers about their process, but inquiring about their idea-editing seems far too personal and I'd rather avoid having the question turned back on me. I can not edit an answer quick enough in my head to sound convincing.

In choosing the settings for this site, I selected the warning- "may contain adult content" just in case the nagging editor in my head loses the on-going battle with my muse.
