Then sure.
That said, I have enjoyed to some extent the editing process, though it may make my eyes want to bleed at times at how many missed commas, passive pronouns and verbs and ugh…. Just… ugh.

And I smile because I fixed it, and can that means a better book for y’all. Hope springs eternal that this draft, and it’s subsequent structural fixes that I must do with it (yeah, I have 2 scenes that need a nice tune up and will increase the drama greatly towards the end) is all for the best. Now… I NEED TO MAKE MY DEADLINES!!! ARRRRRRRGH!!!!!
