About this episode
In this episode, the host discusses the challenges and inspirations related to the editing process of a book.
What’s funny is, I like editing. I’m not sure why I was dragging my feet around editing our book . I’d already made some major changes. The big re-structure had already happened. But somehow I couldn’t bring myself to sit down and fix up some details. I finally decided I needed to buckle down, though, and instead of getting into the document, I watched a movie made in the year our book was set. It was a great movie and I thought it would get me inspired. To keep reading Preparing for Editing visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.
