I hope so. I used to be pretty fit in my last job. Running to and from work plus moving several tonne of concrete every single day kept me in otter mode. Now that the job is over my arms have gotten skinny and my belly is a little rounder. Save me /fit/.

At least Kawabata and Sōseki had chapters in which they were an important focus but what is Man'yōshū: Kokinshū, Ise Monogatari, Makura no Sōshi, Konjaku Monogatsarishū, Heike Monogatari, or the Kyōunshū. Get on my level pleb.

What methods are there for self-editing? Does editing larger works (equal/greater than novellas) require a different approach than editing short stories? Right now it seems that I'll knock out about 2500-5000 words in a session, take a few days off, then go back and reread/edit but the editing is usually just minor alterations here and there. I also have a friend who is great for reading over my stuff and that's where the bulk of suggestions come from, but I'm wondering how I can effectively edit my own work with a bit more criticality (and if there are resources or tried-and-true methods for this).
