Due to a reorganization I now find myself as primary author of these letters and only an occasional part time editor. I am reminded and amazed how a second set of eyes can catch what I did not see the first time. Editing makes a better product plain and simple. I actually love to get input now, where in the past I used to cringe. I am so thankful people take the time to give me detailed feedback.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782431720194243509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-88012037967888131382009-12-05T07:40:54.214-07:002009-12-05T07:40:54.214-07:00Julie, after jumping through the hoops you mention...Julie, after jumping through the hoops you mentioned I thought I had dumped everything into a book. Then the publisher wanted a follow up book. I worked on a new book two years and felt I have to stay away from it a few months. I've been reading blogs because I'm burned out. But I know I am not alone. Thanks for the honesty. Please visit my blog.

Everyone does need an editor, and it becomes quite obvious when one isn't used (even for those bestselling authors).<br /><br />Chocolate is always good :)Heather Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634399663804195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-19497668091920612872009-12-02T09:55:02.163-07:002009-12-02T09:55:02.163-07:00Oh I love your list!!!

I enjoy editing and making something better. (It's when you reach the galley stage that you want to torch the thing because you've been over it SO many times that you can no longer believe it's any good.)Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-90272980288977337422009-12-01T16:13:51.895-07:002009-12-01T16:13:51.895-07:00Call me crazy, but the editing process is my favor...Call me crazy, but the editing process is my favorite part!Kimberly Jobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968684955824178271noreply@blogger.com
