LOL Because I for one, don't think I'd have the patience for it. Especially for the carelessness that you mentioned. I was going to say stupid but thought I'd be nice :)<br />Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-55214803173065631892015-11-03T13:19:03.099-05:002015-11-03T13:19:03.099-05:00Nan, I am looking forward to your presentation at...Nan, I am looking forward to your presentation at the Indiana RWA Retreat.

It's a lot of tedious search and replace, yet even the most conscientious writer needs a second (or third or fourth...) set of eyes to catch everything!Ava Cuvayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06312693483840366091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-83026074301952613472015-11-03T07:49:38.730-05:002015-11-03T07:49:38.730-05:00I love this post, Nan, and not just because now I&...I love this post, Nan, and not just because now I'm picturing my CEs (and you) with a glass of whiskey (which is probably *not* the drink you were referring to) so they can make a drinking game out of all my whoopsies!<br /><br />Seriously, great post, and a good reminder - CEs are a great tool in our publishing arsenal!Kristina Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674920511835640874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-20734982506968654542015-11-03T07:15:39.960-05:002015-11-03T07:15:39.960-05:00Hmmm, I see no mention in there of authors who are...Hmmm, I see no mention in there of authors who are fond of the word "though"...
