The most painful part of writing,
for me,
is editing.
It is also the most important.
In editing,
I receive all that critical feedback
that makes me a better writer.
Editing also polishes an okay story
into a brilliant story,
and that post-edit story will be the only story
readers (i.e. customers) will see.
I could delegate my edits to someone else.
It would save me some pain short-term,
but it would change my career path long-term.
It is a critical job
and, as boss of my own writing career,
I should do it.
In business building,
there are also painful yet critical jobs.
Hiring, for example,
is a long grueling process,
yet whom you hire,
especially at leadership levels,
will shape the future of your company.
Do these jobs.
Don’t bellyache about it.
Don’t delegate it.
Do it.
