Yes, I've been there, too. And ...Hey Normandie-<br />Yes, I've been there, too. And it's so hard not to take it personally. Usually? I have to put my edits aside for a few hours. LOL But then when I go back in and take a look, I see the edits for what they are -- improvements. Of course, then I look at it and think, "How did I miss that?" And that's exactly why we need another set of eyes on our work. <br Laura G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924762936902862532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-53959893912134093462014-04-10T18:37:37.172-04:002014-04-10T18:37:37.172-04:00Thanks, Cara.

It's good to know that when your MS is all marked up it doesn't necessarily mean the editor doesn't like the story. Lol. I think most authors have been there and thought, "Ugh, she/he hates it!" And I agree we have to keep learning the craft. There's always room for improvement. :)Normandie Allemanhttp://www.normandiealleman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-21435760302500430932014-04-09T09:37:29.786-04:002014-04-09T09:37:29.786-04:00Great overview on what editing does for a manuscri...Great overview on what editing does for a manuscript. A good editor makes an author look great and the author gets all the glory. It's a wonderful system. LOL. I've found that writing and editing are different mental processes, two sides of a coin. I cannot imagine putting a book out there without <i>professional</i> editing, yet some authors (and some ebook publishers) do. Love the Cara Bristolhttp://www.carabristol.comnoreply@blogger.com
