Edit... Edit...Edit. Sometimes I have the unfortunate displeasure of editing my own or a friends writing. I despise editing, I am an atrocious speller and am bad at written grammar, well I can write my own stories well, but I can't find others mistakes.
Editing shows what a person thinks of your piece as well and can feel like a personal attack on your writing. Someone may say that they dislike how my character speaks, or they dislike my topics. Intellectually I know they are just trying to help, but emotionally I feel as though they dislike my piece. This is why I am generally reluctant to show my writing to people. I wish editing wasn't such a pain. I wish it wasn't a pain from both sides of the paper.
