You know the best thing about tThe “editing” merit badge? It is surely the sense of accomplishment you so rightfully feel when you’ve earned it. Who knew there was so much to be gained by cutting your words down to only include the ones those that are really, truly needed? and adding those you should’ve included.
Part of the merit badges for writers series. The badge may be posted on your site or blog. Tell us why you’ve earned (or will never earn) it in the comments.
