I love to write. I love to edit. I never knew how similar they were until I began to edit work other than my own. I can see how one leads to the other and back again. The thing is, I can do that easily with my own works. Not so much with someone else's! Laying down words is an author's right. My edit can only suggest, which I've found helpful in my own work. See? Vice versa!
On another note, I'm now editing the work of a friend, and I'm impressed. Nice introduction to the story, excellent wordage, great characterization...but then I always knew she had talent!
