The Gruesomeness of Editing

I edit a lot, often on paper, because I like the visuals and the feel of marking out words.

Spoiler alert for novel that will probably never see the light of day ("Flight from Endwood")!

Of course, I like to edit SO much, a big thing for me is getting the first draft out, so I have something to work with. I'm still working on a short story...the plot has changed quite substantially, but whatever...abusive husbands lording their power over their Selkie wives are SO cliche. New idea is stronger (though still involves selkies).
