editing (3.00/0) (#14)

I think I like the editing feature. My philosophy is to get people writing. If the work is sloppy, then the writer can be told it's sloppy. This is how a person learns. It seems to me that the hard part is sitting down and doing it. Plus, free writing can really be valuable. I've seen several comments lately about collaboration. Isn't that what editing is all about?

My feeling is to just go ahead and write. If the writing were perfect I'd be getting paid by the word. I know this is a site about writing technique, but that doesn't mean it can't be a teaching, learning, and evolutionary process site, too.

that's why it wasn't an easy decision (3.00/0) (#15)

All of those points you raised were things that kept me from just turning the edit queue off immediately.

Thanks for sharing your opinion though. Maybe in the future we might try the edit queue again.
