I study lots of editing guides and altho, I've never taken an actual course, I can say there's so much to be learned just from the awesome blogs out there that post work for review.PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-14135937344760432792011-06-05T09:48:15.824-07:002011-06-05T09:48:15.824-07:00I have something for you over on my blog http://sa...I have something for you over on my blog http://sassy3421.blogspot.com/2011/06/irresistibility-sweet-blog-award.htmlCarolyn Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848484073538930315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-85922174115330491842011-06-05T06:54:03.370-07:002011-06-05T06:54:03.370-07:00This is a great post.

I hadn't even considered getting a book on editing before now - thanks for the advice! It is definitely not something you just know how to do, no matter how much writing you've done.Stacey Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817323384308051440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-3445280423047028352011-06-04T03:54:54.958-07:002011-06-04T03:54:54.958-07:00I've learned so much by beta-reading others...I've learned so much by beta-reading others' stuff, and have cut out a lot of my own bad habits as a result (of course, I still have several others!). I totally agree that it's crucual for any writer to be able to refine her/his own work through editing.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636585111057799728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-8046897959771999412011-06-03T13:07:32.851-07:002011-06-03T13:07:32.851-07:00Editing other people's work really helps you l...Editing other people's work really helps you learn to edit your own.

Now days that would be impossible, but virtually I found a forum that's pretty much the same thing.
