Editing

I realize that blogging, or writing anything for that matter, is a very difficult in deed. First of all, your stuck at a desk, or in a coffee house,  sitting down. The only physical activity is the movement of your hands on the keyboard, the electronic firings of your brain, and rapid movement of the eyes. It's harder on the body than I ever though possible.

Writing is difficult, but editing what you have written is really the challenge in the creative process. Each day I try to turn out something of a blog. Naturally, some blogs are better than others. Many are just plain boring, I can see you shaking your heads yes,  but I crank them out because it's all the process of discipline writing.

When I go back the next day after producing a blog and re-read it I'm often floored and embarrassed by the glaring errors that I've put out to the world.

This is a confession blog. I know I make a lot of mistakes. Please try to read past those mistakes to the content of what I'm trying to convey. Thank you for your understanding and patience. I don't get paid to do this, and I don't have an editor. When I ask my wife to read and edit something I've written there's still numerous inaccuracies. The last thing she wants to do after working in a hospital all day is be an editor.

I try and make blogs short, concise and to the point. Some blogs, such as the one I wrote yesterday are long, and full of mistakes. Having dyslexia only compounds the problems of my writing.

To all you editors out there I have a deep respect for your skill. The editors are the real power behind the creative process.

That's it.

Life is what happens in between meals.
