Could I BE more lazy?
(Warning: The blog entries are going to be coming at a pretty furious clip for the next few days, I think.)
So, I’m going through old drafts now, and some of the stuff is just PHENOMENAL as to how stupid and lazy it is. And this is several drafts in. Just unbelievable levels of procrastination.
I’m reading this section and throughout it, apparently during one of my "edit" passes, I mark it up. The original sentence reads:
"My awkward body language forces them to come around in front of me."
The EDITED sentence reads:
"My awkward body language (unpack) forces them to come around in front of me."
Unpack means to expand on that idea, explain it more. Show, don’t tell. All of that sort of stuff. But it just amazes me that such a thing would be written as an obvious second-round edit WITHOUT MY HAVING MADE THE SLIGHTEST ATTEMPT AT ACTUALLY DOING THE EDIT.
I mean, I’m suggesting edits now? To whom? Isn’t there only one person writing this? So, my edit pass is to make notes for a future pass where I then act on my own notes?
Unfuckingbelievable.
