Last week!

Okay I hatehatehatehatehate editing my own work. I am a horrible perfectionist when it comes to writing. I will stare at a sentence for three hours (not actually, I don't have time for that) and doubt every word. I have rewritten whole papers two hours before they were due because of self-editting. I like just writing it all out, hitting print and submitting. But I know I need to find my mistakes and there is always room for improvement. Which is why I usually pass my paper off to roommates or friends to edit first. I think it reduces my insanity a little. But still, self-editting is hard and the thought of "challenging every word" scares me because then I would never submit anything.
