[stylist] lessons learned

[Jackie Williams]

I love your metaphor of fixing a hat slightly askew when in fact it is not.
Yes, sometimes an editor is a great asset.

Speaking of lessons, I find chess is an excellent illustration for life. 
Looking at all aspects of a situation is necessary or you can make a wrong 
move that will cost you. Helps us look outside of our own little zone as it 
were and into other spheres of influence for real.
Yes technology can not be better than the human touch. LOL. Also never try 
using logic when it comes to a computer. I.E it should work this way because

it's supposed to. HAHA.
I do in fact use an editor, but she's a good one. If find they're either 
good or royal pains, but mine actually helps. We're writers, creative people

and may miss some technical things. Not seeing the forest for the trees, so 
editing has its place. Also I will knit pick over something until I drive 
myself mad if I do my own editing, often fixing stuff that is not broken as 
it were. Making it supposedly better when I'm really just straightening a 
hat that is not askew. LOL. And a good editor takes that annoying ,little 
OCDism off my hands. *relieved sigh*
Merry Solstice to all and Puck and I wish you all a merry mid-summer night's

dream!
