Editing roller-coaster

[Neil White]

Ah, the joys of editing.

"Please find enclosed the first draft of the second book."

"I love it! It's great!! I enclose my initial thoughts."

Read ten page summary of why it is not so great.

"Please find enclosed re-written draft of second book."

"Thank you. Oh, that's much better. Now it's really great! Fantastic!! I enclose the line edits."

Read detailed line-by-line breakdown of why it is neither great nor fantastic, yet.

"Please find enclosed re-written further draft of second book."

"Oh, that's brilliant!! It is really sharp. Please find enclosed copy edits."

Read how bad my grammar and spelling is, along with a list of inconsistencies.

Ah, the joys of editing.
