So while re-editing Killer of Killers, I am finding places where the POV is suspect, but the fun is in correcting them. Often, the POV character is not established in the first paragraph, and I'm changing that. It's revising all over again. And I've always felt that the revision stage is the most fun part of the writing process. Or the editing stage, really, because then, at least, you have a publisher, and working with a publisher is way more fun, than going it on your own.
And I appreciate the editorial wringer. It was Penumbra who put me through that. Maybe Melange was more loose about that, but I'm not a lazy writer. I'm not a lazy anything. Whatever I do, I want to do the best that I can do. And when it comes to art or writing, something that will last for posterity, you better get it right, because once you've moved on, it will remain the way you left it. So get it right.
