With this latest book, I read and read until my eyes crossed...lol. Because I'm with you, I'm striving to be professional - and prefessionals submit and sell clean (as in typos/grammar errors) books. <br /><br />Enjoy your writing this week, Claudia.Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047509592606492925.post-11462093445701777752012-04-23T02:31:42.472-04:002012-04-23T02:31:42.472-04:00I think it's great that you are bothering to f...I think it's great that you are bothering to fix the typos - I see so many that don't bother.

And you are totally right w/ the chef analogy...my hubby is a chef and is particular about keeping the kitchen clean ("clean as you go", he always says)...which is the same thing as me "editing as I go", but as I've learned, sometimes it's not enough and I have to get a better editor! :)Claudia Lefevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591547986192202834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047509592606492925.post-51541686631243984922012-04-22T11:55:24.933-04:002012-04-22T11:55:24.933-04:00Happy Earth Day to you too!

(It's like cleaning up a kitchen, after a while a professional chef just develops habits that either keep things clean in the first place or makes clean up easier and faster as you go.)The Daring Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676188266569869059noreply@blogger.com
