Edit Shmedit

Editing is part discipline and part art form. I also think it is mental let's-defeat-the-perfectionist-in-me battlefield. I have confidence in my ability to find most mistakes. What confounds me are the little tests that my brain insists on giving me. For example: this post kept bothering me for some reason. When I woke up this morning I knew why and I shook my head and smiled. Substituting 'words' for 'pages' does make one wonder about the type of books I am reading. Maybe some publisher is offering condensed versions of CliffsNotes books.

Of course I re-edited the post.
