Tedium

Now there's a title to really make you want to read a blog, right?

In this case I'm talking about the tedium of re-reading and re-writing. It is so bad I can only do about 14 or 15 pages a night at the absolute maximum.

When your eyes start crossing it is time to stop.

But here is the thing: I always find many errors and examples of bad writing when I re-read. That makes it worthwhile no matter how many times I do it and no matter how tedious it gets.

I've never sold a book, but I still think this is one of key elements to getting one sold. Probably I'm not doing it half enough.

Yours in rejection,

Phil
