In reply to Aram Boyd. It can be so hard restraining yourself from over-editing. I know I'm guilty of that. Hope this post helps you! Thanks for commenting, Aram!

Damn, wish I found this yesterday. Just spent 4 hours over-editing a blog post. Thanks for the wisdom, Nicole.

Hi, Cynthia! Thank you so much. 🙂 I am glad to hear you enjoyed it.

I love how Instagram can be like a mini-blog. I definitely write a lot there too, working on captions and responding to comments. 🙂 And, yes, you should definitely start a blog! I’d love to read it. Your book reviews are always so interesting on Instagram. If you’d like to, you can set up a free blog on WordPress.com. If you need help, let me know. 🙂 This has given me the idea that I should write a blog post explaining how to set up a blog. 😀

Hi Nicole, a great post as usual. The only writing I do at the moment is for Instagram posts. I know when I was at university I would obsess over my essays too much, so I can relate to this problem. Funnily enough discussing books on IG has led me to want to write more! So I just have to figure out how to incorporate more writing into my life. Maybe I need my own blog, although I have no idea how to do that! Thanks for your post.

Hi, Dolores! 🙂 Thanks so much for commenting! Completely sympathize with you. When I write in Spanish or Italian, the editing process really is a nightmare too because they’re not my native languages. I’m never sure if I’m coming across well. I think having someone else read one’s work really speeds up the editing process. And the more people the better. It’s always wonderful to get other people’s opinions. Thanks again for reading! 😀

Hi, Brenda! Thanks for your comment! So nice to meet you. 🙂 Congrats on publishing a novel on Smashwords! It is so true — it is such a freeing experience when we go ahead and hit publish. Looking forward to reading your blog. Going to hop over there now. 🙂

Right on point Nicole. To me, editing is a nightmare. I write in Spanish and English and it can get pretty ugly. I know I won’t be able to edit my own work. Sometimes though one can get obsessive with getting it perfect. I know because it happens to me. I find it useful to have someone else read it aside from the editor. Have a beautiful week!

Great post and much needed. I am so of this mind set – it isn’t ready, not good enough etc. etc. I finally just let it go and published a novel on Smashword last month. It is truly freeing and now I am onto the next project. Just found you today on Blogging Boost so excited!
