It's the most artistic part of the whole biz for me: carving slabs of text into pleasing shapes. I usually go through 20-25 printed drafts of each book, one after another, red pen in hand. Perfectionist doesn't begin to cover it ;-) And congrats on your very first blog post. Bet it didn't hurt all that much, and I expect to see your new blog online any day now.

I, too, love editing. Right now, I'm just on the last chapter of my young adult novel, and I can't wait to write that last word. Then I can get stuck into the editing, start from the beginning, be ruthless and get rid of all the rubbish. I have no idea how many times I'll rewrite it. I find with editing that no matter how good you think the last rewrite was, leave it a while and you'll always find something to change. But when I write blogs, I usually only edit them once. Well done, Dave, on your first blog!
