I think about that when I start wanting to tear my hair out. <br /><br />Michelle, I laughed over your comment. I'd so want to slap that teacher. Knowing when to stop is something we have to learn. For me, I know I should stop when I can't find anything I can improve on and start removing the commas I put in on the last edit. :)J.L.

It reminds me of one of my friends who was taking an art class; the instructor kept making her rework the shading of the skin tones until the face was a bilious green. Then he dissed her painting. That sure taught me a lesson: Know when to stop before I go too far in the wrong direction. :)Michelle Fayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323853315988838877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-81613542961317711122011-09-07T18:44:02.743-05:002011-09-07T18:44:02.743-05:00Editing stinks but at least you know you'll ha...Editing stinks but at least you know you'll have the best product possible (I'm sure it rocks already though!!!!).Alleged Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869021184116123477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-57259864041434893772011-09-07T17:41:43.123-05:002011-09-07T17:41:43.123-05:00The dangers of overediting!
