Dear Kamy, I'm holding you in the light and sending you well wishes that your recovery goes well and that you're completely healed.  Loving this post because as a publisher I drill this into authors, however, since a lot of our authors (myself...

@Maretha...While I enjoy writing (sometimes, when the muse is cooperating).  I've never enjoyed editing but I never expected to...I'm always leary of authors who proclaim how much they enjoy edits...b/c it makes me wonder if they've ever had an...

@Mark, The viewers like what they like...even if it's bad quality, which makes it hard to explain why editing is so critical when you read so many authors who avoid it like the plague but sell like hotcakes.
