Editing

Unable to sleep and unwilling to just lie in bed, I double checked over the last post on this blog and realized how badly I need some professional editor. I don't necessarily mean in the context of grammatical mistakes, I know I'm making those. And when the mind is working and the words are flying I don't feel like looking back at what is written. 

It's not the grammar that gets me, it's the substance, the narrative. I can look back and say " I could have done that ten times better," or even worse, I realize how it should have been written in the first damn place. It's the merit. It's the narration. It's the substance and control over the English language. What's intuitive and what isn't. Can I make the next sentence fall in line with your next thought? I know I can, I've done it a before. Just not on the first draft. That's not for you, it's for me. Sadly it's what you're subjected  to  it here.

This is exactly why there are multiple drafts to any professionally published worked.

As for you, just realize that you're reading the first draft when you're glancing through this blog, and forgive my ignorance.
