Copy Edits

The copy edited MS of BREAKING COVER arrived today.

I've done a quick review. Jesus, how did I MAKE some of those mistakes? Not only did I make them, I missed them in THREE SUBSEQUENT DRAFTS.

Repeated words and phrases, dropped punctuation, etc. etc.

Apparently, I am no longer competent to write in my native language. I need to learn to lay brick or something, because I sure as hell can't put a sentence on paper anymore without embarrassing myself.
