The editing process 😂 #writer #amediting #writerlife #writesky #writingcommunity #joyofediting #indieauthor #indie

Writer: this is the best thing I've ever written. I must submit it to [insert publication name] immediately. They can't *not* publish it, it's that good, done deal Narrator: it was not a done deal #writingcommunity #writer #writinglife #writerlife #indieauthor #shortstories #rejection
