And the different schools of grammar. I once had a short story judge tell me I used too many commas. I went back through the story and could justify every single one of them with an official comma rule. I soooo wanted to be able to tell that judge that s/he needed to brush up on his/her comma rules. :-)Jocelyn Rishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141176507423961390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-46305605710121898332013-09-04T00:52:21.365-04:002013-09-04T00:52:21.365-04:00You make me laugh -- in a good way! -- with these ...You make me laugh -- in a good way! -- with these posts :) Line edits don't sound fun, but at least you have your wip to focus your energy on :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387192455675819898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-59077370527252128232013-09-03T23:04:59.416-04:002013-09-03T23:04:59.416-04:00chocolate is a great way of getting through line e...chocolate is a great way of getting through line edits.

You'll be so happy not to get a comment a year later from a friend telling you that one of your main character's injuries changed slightly further along in the book! Or get a bad review for using the wrong word once in your book because the English language is so darned crazy, there's no way to catch everything unless you have a line editor. It will be all over, and you'll be able to relax... until the next time. :) <a href="http://nancylarondajohnson.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Writer’s Mark</a>Chancelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880082145266359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-72606976265741118442013-08-31T13:06:01.447-04:002013-08-31T13:06:01.447-04:00Editing makes my eyes hurt.
