On a writer's site this morning, a few authors were touting hiring an editor for one's manuscript. I have never disputed the benefits of getting professional help. One of these authors pointed out the fact it helps to keep one from committing embearassing mistakes. Some of us are stuck with our own mess to clean up, as the finances are not there to pay for it. I am of the latter persuasion. Which is in part why it is taking so long to put the finishing polish on my latest effort. If when I read a passage it does not flow smoothly enough to suit me, I have to revisit it until it cannot be further improved on by my talents. It may not be great literature, but it is my literature.
