Stuff I Think About as I’m Editing

1. Man, I do use these words a lot.
2. Why do I have to be so complicated? I just need to get to the point.
3. Yeah, this is a really pretty phrase, but it’s either too wordy or I already have a similar metaphor.
4. I LOVE metaphors! MORE METAPHORS!
5. You know, when it’s pointed out, I automatically know what’s wrong, but I’m sure if I were just reading it, I’d probably skip over it.
6. I use these words too much.
7. FRICKIN’ METAPHORS!
8. I still don’t know what this means.
9. Let’s just get rid of this.
10. Narrator? Oh, crap!
11. What am I talking about?
12. This does read really awkward.
13. TUMBLR!
14. FACEBOOK!
15. TWITTER!
16. My editing cave is more like an amusement park.
17. I want something to eat.
18. I seriously hope I can edit this well for my next book.
19. Why do I have to hate action scenes?
20. Why are action scenes annoying to write?
21. Oh, God. I’m coming upon an action scene.
22. I’ll just re-write these last three chapters.
23. I wonder if the literary greats have these problems.
24. I hope I sell well.
25. WHY?
