I always have so much trouble editing my short stories. I can sometimes pick up obvious errors, but a lot ends up going unedited. I'm embarrassed to post my stories anywhere, because I'm always afraid they're full of mistakes. I takes me, maybe, 2 read throughs of my stories to pick out all the mistakes I can find, and that feels too few to me. Yet, when I go through it a 3rd time and a 4th time, I can't find anything else that looks wrong to me. It makes me paranoid that I'm conveying certain ideas in my story incorrectly, or that someone will get the wrong idea about a certain situation in the story, or that they just won't get what I'm trying to say at all. I'd say I'm pretty decent at writing, but it feels like it's all for nothing if I can't properly edit it.
