I'd come down to saying that editing is an art actually, to know whats needed and whats not. More like you have to have it IN you. Trained editors are neevr as sucessful as the one who have the natural talent. <BR/><BR/>Reading and re-reading I do, but it surprises me, how much I can come up with and change a single sentence just re-reading it a week later. I guess its because of all the things we see and notice and read. Like the Chinese proverb says "Something is learned everytime a book is opened" I guess we're sub-consciously learning something or the other!!!!!!livetimefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072340904862177919noreply@blogger.com
