What Editing Looks Like

Technology is an awesome force. And Simon and I do better with the use of it. We had no idea we were spelling villain wrong and would have been blissfully unaware if not for spell check and auto-correct.

Because, honestly, I just spelled it wrong again.

However, when all the writing, back and forth, and discussion is done, there is nothing as satisfying as taking a red pen to the paper and marking the ever-living crap out of a printed page. 

Having been in the newspaper biz, editing loses something when it's done on a screen. There is something satisfying about seeing those red marks on a page, knowing each of them moves to improve the story. Hopefully making more enjoyable -- or at the very least, readable!
