House cleaning

I'm over at The Novelty Girls today, blogging about how edits are like house cleaning. And how I kind of like it.

And I'm thinking about this because a) I actually cleaned some of my house, gasp and horror and b) because I have edits to do.

But mostly because I really do think they're sort of similiar. You have an established, already-constructed, somewhat-less-than-tidy house to clean. Cleaning it puts things back in order, eliminates or at least controls the mess, and makes you feel better for having it done, right? It does for me. It's the actual doing it that's a pain in the rear.

But it must be done, and edit I must, so I'm off.
