Resisting the "Edit" Button

Blogger has this really cool thing that allows you to go back and edit your posts after publication. "Perfect," I thought today as I was rereading a recent post. I didn't like the phrasing of a sentence, and immediately wanted to go back and "fix" it.

Wow.

My fellow bloggers frequently discuss the issue of the self-editor when writing in the blogging world. The immediacy of blog writing is so nice and invigorating. We don't have to wait for acceptance or approval. We hit the publish button, and our words are out there. However, the downside to this is the fact that writers, of any sort/level/comfort, can't help but worry about the editing/proofreading aspect of their work. It has only me three posts to get a bit frazzled about this, but in the spirit of the title of this blog, I aim to keep writing...hopefully to enlight, and resist writing "right".
