The Past and Re-editing

With writing for a while and learning new things in regards to editing, voice and whatnot, I decided to edit one of my first fantasy short stories, The Witch’s Origin. I’m going to read it on my podcast when I’m done editing it. However, reading over the story, it is quite honestly not well-written. The funny thing is that when I wrote it, I thought that it was indeed well-written.

I’m a bit regretful that I didn’t know things like “voice” or proper editing in the past. It’s quite time-consuming to go over stories that I wrote and re-edit them. Also, in the case of The Mustard Prince in the Condiment Kingdom, I put it out as an eBook on Amazon a while back, and it’s not completely edited correctly. It still lacks “voice” right now especially since I am just starting to understand what “voice” is.

I suppose that this goes to show that it takes a while to put everything together no matter what endeavor one is trying to do. I thought that after college that I could write, and write well, but it turns out that writing creatively with my own “voice” as an author is another skill altogether. Also, I realize how important editing is to this writing process.
