When I first started taking my dream of being a published novelist seriously, the editing phase&nbsp;felt like going&nbsp;to the dentist:&nbsp;necessary, but uncomfortable. I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;know where to start, what decisions to make, or how to break the task into chunks my writer\u2019s brain could handle. Every change felt like vandalising something fragile \u2014 taking a knife to a newborn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now? The editing phase is the part I look forward to most.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;when I feel at my most creative and most deeply engaged with the art form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drafting, for me, is like pulling together a big lump of clay and&nbsp;roughly squishing&nbsp;it into the shape&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;after.&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;sketching characters broadly and trying ideas I&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;yet fully understand. I feel self-conscious around them \u2014 they&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;know me, and I&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;know them \u2014 but I follow the impulses that arrive. By the end of the first draft, that clay is at least \u201chead-shaped.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then editing begins. Sharpening, distilling, refining. This is the stage where the novel\u2019s face starts to&nbsp;emerge. Suddenly I discover the real reason for a character\u2019s behaviour. I feel a spark of satisfaction when a plot beat clicks neatly into place and reveals what I meant all along. The book\u2019s heartbeat grows stronger. Editing becomes creative play rather than the punishment I once feared. It feels like discovery, not destruction.&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;learned that editing&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;a penance \u2014&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;the gateway to mastery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;mean it&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;frightening. This is the phase when the \u201creal world\u201d draws closer. My once-private, infant novel is getting ready to be read \u2014 and&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;when doubt creeps in.&nbsp;<em>What if the entire story is wrong? What if everyone laughs? What if readers miss&nbsp;everything&nbsp;I hoped&nbsp;they\u2019d&nbsp;see?<\/em>&nbsp;Decision fatigue sets in. I hear phantom footsteps as the draft edges toward daylight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s&nbsp;why&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;worked so hard on my own self-editing skills: because they are essential for surviving feedback. Every writer who wants to be read will face multiple layers of it \u2014 agents, editors, beta readers, early reviewers. As the line from&nbsp;the film,&nbsp;<em>The Wife<\/em>&nbsp;goes:&nbsp;<em>\u201cA writer has to be read, honey.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Readers complete our art in their minds, and they bring their own interpretations \u2014 sometimes beautifully, sometimes bafflingly. The feedback can be well-meaning yet difficult to absorb, and the emotional whiplash&nbsp;can be painful. The market phase&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;cruel, but it&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;real.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, editing is where I reconnect with my North Star. I remind myself why this story mattered to me in the first place. I return to its emotional and thematic core. I protect my voice \u2014 because if I am not being fully myself in my own work, then whose story am I telling? I also get clear on my boundaries: the non-negotiables, the lines I will not cross. In this process, I try to behave like a tree \u2014 roots deep, branches flexible. Standing firm in my creative convictions, yet able to bend toward insight. External critique can deepen the&nbsp;roots, if&nbsp;I let it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;self-edit alone. I need trusted critique partners. I need people who can teach me craft techniques. I need professional eyes to remind me of the commercial realities of the book world. I need a toolkit of approaches that help me see my own pages afresh. Good self-editing is equal parts internal skill and external support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editing&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;the end of writing;&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;where the writing becomes&nbsp;<em>itself<\/em>. Over the years,&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;gathered tools, gathered my people, and learned how to refine with increasing confidence. And I expect to spend the rest of my writing life doing exactly&nbsp;this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big part of that growth has come from investing in tutored courses \u2014 including programmes like the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/ultimate-novel-writing-programme\/\">Ultimate Novel Writing Programme<\/a><\/strong>. If you want guidance, structure, accountability, and a community of thoughtful advisors, you would be hard pushed to find a better foundation for your own creative development.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rachel Davidson is a long-term Premium Member of Jericho Writers prior to joining our Writer Support Team, Rachel loves helping hopeful writers, such as herself, to solve their problems and take a step or two closer to achieving their writing dreams.
