Not by a long shot. But it's a necessary evil. So I reward myself for every chapter completed. I'm a sucker for even a small prize/gift/award.<br /><br />Besides, they tell me it's all worthwhile in the end.

I think editing will be a wonderful process for you (even if you don't) because you'll get to re-read all of your work and roll the wonderful ideas and storylines around in your head again. While doing this rereading, you'll remember where you wanted to go with the characters and their dilemmas and you can start to pick and choose word choices that make your good writing shine. Now hop to it! I want to read your novel(s)!!
