We did 4 rounds of edits for my latest novel!<br /><br />I guess they're proud of their quality and their reputation, regardless of the medium.Janine Ashblesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840188081214225153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157523337657902739.post-51727620955985153812011-11-11T04:58:29.745-08:002011-11-11T04:58:29.745-08:00Oh, I am a bit of a whore for a good sentence frag...Oh, I am a bit of a whore for a good sentence fragment, I confess :) Overuse, though, not so good.Vidahttp://wwww.heatsuffused.blogpost.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157523337657902739.post-55176607447937526152011-11-10T17:20:29.773-08:002011-11-10T17:20:29.773-08:00I am not a natural born editor at all, I've re...I am not a natural born editor at all, I've really had to hone my skills to get my self-editing groove going. I'm glad I have improved, and continue to grow in this.<br /><br />As a reader, without a doubt, a poorly edited, or non-edited story can take me right out of the flow.<br /><br />While I think people can sometimes be to restrictive and rule oriented when it comes to some elements like punctuation and sentence fragments and such, I do think spelling and proper context of words is very important when writing.<br /><br />I hope we don't come to live in a world where quality editing goes by the wayside.Craig Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101869420537661374noreply@blogger.com
