I do this every
day—writing that is, AND, spend as much time on research or mentoring other
authors as writing. I've been told I'm quite an accomplished writer, YET, there
is an aspect of writing that really bugs me. Despite my ability to give advice on
and edit other's works I'm hopeless at doing so with my own work. With help
from my network partners and weekly critique of my writing by my three critique
buddies my work becomes honed enough to forward it to beta readers for comment
and then to a copy editor for substantive editing.
Recently I came
across an interesting presentation focused entirely on that painstaking skill
of copy editing. It was so visually appealing I thought it worth sharing.

Keep an eye out
for 'Husssh,' the latest of my adult novels.
It has been through all but the final
copy editing and it will be released later in the year.
