There's also the age old wisdom on how to get better at anything: practice. Just by writing more, you will get better at it, editing or no editing. Editing fixes errors in the writing, but it doesn't due much for actually
improving it, not as much as simply more writing does.
Which is where some selfish self-promotion comes in with the reminder that the current MLK Writing contest still has three days left before the voting round! Still only one submission in (though I know there is another one coming in soon), but the more stories we get, the better!
