Editing is something that a writer has to live with. If you don't people are going to throw your work out the door, or some other appropriate receptacle and you're done. End of story, the end, you're finished.
It isn't easy to find good editors especially when you're working on a tight budget but I have a fairly good one at a really good price. No I’m not going to mention that price. Here's the problem. The dear and very lovely lady doesn't live with me and to have her close at hand so she can edit everything I put out there just isn't possible. So when I post on any social media or my blog she isn't there to hit me in the back of the head and tell me to change the damn thing. I really shouldn't need her to. The problem is that I work a lot of times on shear exhaustion from lack of sleep especially when I’m working on a project which seems to be most of the time these days. I have my doctors at me over this most of the time now. Hey I got started in this a little, yeah right a little, late and I’m trying to make up for lost time. When I post something to my webpage I have to admit I’m generally tired and of course we’ve already established over and over again I’m bat crap crazy. So the result of this is that I tend to hit publish without bothering to reread what I have spouted forth for my mass of followers, I want to thank the two of you but the way, without taking the time and consideration to reread, correct, and make sure that what I have written is readable. Does this make me a thoughtless, self-absorbed, unfeeling bitch who doesn’t care? Of course not. It does make me a tired, at times a somewhat lazy maybe, very remedial robot who needs sleep. Whatever the reason however it is inexcusable and I promise to try and do better in the future. Will I succeed? I hope so but remember I also get caught up in what I do and even get excited and I’m like a small child. I wondering if I’m beginning to experience my second childhood, no I never let the first one. Odds are I will do it again and in advance I apologize to you and hope you will continue to have patience with me. Thank you for putting up with me.
