There needs to be a version of "do it scared" for writers that equates to "write it, even if you worry you're not good enough to write it"

I would not be where I am today without the editor-ing of @rowanchurch.bsky.social working with me on story and character edits and @tokenweirdgirl.bsky.social doing my final technical edits. They’ve made Magica Riot so much better than I could do by myself.
Great editors are ESSENTIAL.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.
