It might be more of a big deal for me because lately it's been hard to just read for enjoyment (I end up in editing mode almost all the time). It does pull the reader out of the moment.<br />Editors are a godsend (so long as they're not changing your style, just the actual mistakes - not bitter or anything).Avadonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558137341367620003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199356305799744530.post-74744871591769748992012-01-05T10:28:59.218-05:002012-01-05T10:28:59.218-05:00This is so true.

That being said my editor brought to light so really great points and issues that I am now able to fix myself! Each time I edit I learn something new. It's amazing what you can learn with a fresh set of eyes!<br /><br />Happy New Year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.com
