Greetings, SE’ers! Beem Weeks here with you again. Today, I’m going to talk a little about editing our work.

We are writers. It’s what we do. Some writers are fortunate enough to earn a little extra cash from their work. Others can live a life of luxury because they have connected with millions of readers across the globe. But for the majority, a day job or pension is what keeps us alive. Writing is just what we do on the side while dreaming of better days. Even so, that’s still not an excuse to trust our own eyes to the very important task of editing our work before it ends up on the websites at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

I understand the notion: I’m a good writer. I know where to place the commas and the periods. And I can spell encyclopedia in my sleep. As fine as that…
