Great post! I just paid a fantastic editor for two rounds of edits. I don’t regret a penny – or the agonizing hours spent revising.

Hi Debby – to follow any blog – I rely on other people I know, and then the professionalism of the organisation – otherwise I don’t follow. I’ll definitely look at Kristin Lamb’s log line. While the Windows thing needs keeping an eye on …
so thank you for these ideas – have a happy weekend and Thanksgiving – cheers Hilary

Hi Hilary. Sorry if you were having trouble commenting, my blog has been glitchy this week. But I did get your first comment as well. In future, if you think your comment evaporated but a message comes up telling you it’s a duplicate, it means your first one was already taken. Helpful hint: When I am leaving lengthy comment on someone’s blog, before I hit ‘reply’ I copy my comment in case it didn’t go through I can just repaste it and try again. 🙂 xx

Yes … I didn’t see the ‘duplicate message’ thing as I know about that – I may have been switched off … life here ain’t easy – but that’s the way it’s been doing and I get into a sidelane. So thanks for this … I used to do that – i.e. copying … but stopped as things seemed to settle – not always I know!!! Happy Thanksgiving … lovely and sunny here – no need to reply!

Great links. I was an editor before I became a writer. I think that helps my writing tremendously. But I ALWAYS need an outside editor to catch things I’m too close to find. As far as drafts, I can’t even count how many drafts I go through with each book – and even each STORY I write. xo

I hear you on all counts Pam. And you know the old saying goes . . . even editors need editors. We’re much too close and familiar to our own work to sometimes be objective enough and tend to miss things with our own eyes. 🙂 ❤

Wow, Debby. This post really packs some punch. The only article I’d already read was Hugh’s, and it is worthy of a revisit. Colleen’s offer of author interviews is very generous, and the articles on editing are very important. Everyone needs to read them. I enjoyed the final article about writing from those three famous writers. Their processes are quite interesting, but at least one thing they have in common is that they do it! Thanks so much for sharing these great finds.
