I wrote this back in 2020 and it still applies today…https://stepsinbetween.com/2020/08/09/i-am-a-story-seamstress/
Only this time, I’m editing the sequel to Seam Keepers, entitled, Dream Keepers. I wish I could share more updated tips and tricks about the editing process. but it’s really just as the article above describes. I’m still a seamstress cutting and trimming and sewing the pieces of my story into something lovely and sharable.
The analogy makes me smile because it’s doable. I can do this work. We writers can do the work it takes to write a book. We just might be producing at various speeds along the way.
And that’s okay!
Give the article above a quick read if you need a little inspiration to keep going. The writing process does work…if we spend time focusing on each part. Keep cutting and altering and repatterning, because when it all comes together in the end, we have something beautiful to twirl, strut, and celebrate!
Happy Writing (because at least you’re writing),
