In the literary world, there are only two types of people: editors and writers. I belong to the second category. I don't think I can ever be so good of an editor, although having good editing skills certainly will benefit me as a writer.

I really care more about writing than most things, but I think I also enjoy reading other people's writings more than creating my own work most of the time.

Editing entails giving sound advice and tightening up an article, giving it a very good sense of direction.

There is also a big difference between creative writing and analytical, critical and factual pieces of writing.

And there's something different about personal writing, like posting on a blog.
