So, I’ve hit the half-way mark of my WIP and have moved beyond that hump, so I’m starting to think about the end.  Not of my life, but the end of this draft.  I’m look forward to the editing sometimes and then sometimes, I’m not at all.

Reasons why I am looking forward to it:

A) I am going to buy a nifty corkboard and colored note cards.  I don’t know what I’m going to DO with said items, but I thought it would make me look cool.

B) I already know things that need to be changed, but I’m just waiting until I get to the end before I start messing with stuff.  But those things are nagging me, so I’m ready for that.  I just don’t want to spend a bunch of time messing with a scene just to have it cut later or something.

Now, why I’m NOT looking forward to editing.

A) I have eyeitis.  It’s all about the eyes.  When I do Find & Replace, it’s going to tell me there are a million ‘eyes’ in my story.  I just know it. 

B) I also have weak-verbitis.  Every time I type a ‘walked’ or a ‘looked’, I cringe because I know I’m going to have to go back and change it when I’m editing, but I’m trying not to focus on that stuff with the first run.

So what are your ailments that make you nervous about the editing process?  Or are you totally stoked and already have your colored note cards lined up on your nightstand ready and waiting?

And don’t forget about  the CONTEST!  I’m not a huge blog, so your chances of winning are pretty high!
