You have said it all @tarazkp. You have hit the nail so deep, I bet no one would see it again. As a writer, I detest editing. I was actually kicked out of a discord server for expressing this opinion. It's not that editing is bad in itself but sometimes in a bid to be grammatically correct, the beauty and art in the writing; the turn of phrase, placement of a verb, and so on, disappears and you have a sterile work.
In one of my short stories, I posted here on steemit, I battled with trying to get the poetry part arranged properly but I couldn't. I did all I could but I just didn't know how to use the markdown editor, so there was no way out of it.
After several hours editing and burning bandwidth, I decided to post it like that. I realised in the middle of my editing war that some poems are actually written like that.
In essence, no one has a mastery over language or writing. I have read of so many rules in writing that these days I just write as my spirit leads. There is no right or wrong way to right, there's just good writing, which reaches the intended reader, and bad writing, which doesn't.
In other news, I have been having bandwidth issues so I have not been posting. Peace sire
