Hey, everyone
This isn't so much about general editing as it is about specific sentences and how you handle each one carefully.
I'd like opinions on how you rework them. I often find myself going back to tighten wordy sentences and the like, but I linger too long on it. For some sentences, I always feel that it can be written better and I don't know when enough is enough. Even after I leave them alone for a bit, I still think it can be better.
So, how do you overcome this (if you have ever struggled with it)? Do you just hope that after letting the rewritten words cool down for a week, you might be satisfied with it? How do you get to that point where you approve of each sentence enough to submit it as a complete piece?
Any input on this would be great! Thanks
P.S. Forgive the suggestive title...lol
