Editing Part 2

Sick of editing now.  Have about thirty more stories to plow through.  Which means I've read about eighty of these short-short stories; my writing seems completely banal and worthless to me right now...I wonder why I can't come up with more colorful expressions and metaphors, though part of my plan was to write in such a way that the writing does not call attention to itself.  Maybe I went too far in the plain-speak direction...

But this is the problem of spending a lot of time with my own writing; the inner critic starts screaming at me...to the point where I can't even think clearly.
