The following is an excerpt from The Children’s Writer’s Guide 2.
It’s difficult to edit your own work during the writing process, well before your book is seen by someone else.
Most writers spend a lot of time on their project, conduct significant amounts of research, and set time aside to realize their dream of publishing a novel.
As a result, it can be difficult to revise or even delete sentences or entire passages that took so long to craft or which you feel add so much to the story.
You might believe that a certain part of the book truly defines you as a writer, whereas someone else might consider that same section the point at which they lost interest in your story and put the book down, never to pick it up again.
