The Editing Monster

I have read through the first 4 chapters of SotO, making my notes in the margins, correcting spelling errors (surprisingly few considering who I am), and now it's gotten to the point where I have to input those edits. Starting is incredibly daunting to me, and I'm not exactly sure why. The largest piece missing from the novel is description. Saying that Warrek "loomed in the doorway" is nice, I suppose, but it doesn't give the full impression of a man so broad he has to shoulder his way into the room, of a man so imposing that his just standing there intimidates everyone around him. Much of the novel is seen from his point of view, so it's essential that we see how others are affected by him before we spend all that time seeing things from his eyes. But really, I have this hangup. I resist opening the document and adding that description.

I am going to force myself to do so this afternoon, once I get somethings out of the way. I need to get the ball rolling, or this novel will never see the light of day, and I get the sense that it's a good enough story that others should get the chance to experience it. But how to start the fixing?
