But I like to think of it as an employment opportunity for editors out there. Without our screw ups, there would be fewer jobs for them. I figure by my 20th manuscript submission I might get some of them correct. At least the dangling modifiers are hilarious when you catch them.:) Glad you're here.Michelle Polarishttp://michellepolaris.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-79936278311620204902010-01-27T04:05:05.902-05:002010-01-27T04:05:05.902-05:00Stephanie,

LOL! When I received my first round of edits I realized I have a love affair with the comma and my modifiers were past dangling! They were freakin' bungee jumping!! LOL!!! I love my editor! She's the best! I thought to myself, she must love my voice because my grammar sucks!! Hee-hee-hee! <br /><br />So good to know I'm not alone...Group hug...Naima Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269175037270984886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-36054109446208119832010-01-26T20:22:41.359-05:002010-01-26T20:22:41.359-05:00Thanks for commenting everyone!

LOL. I winced when I got my first set of edits and wanted to send thank you letters to them sending my edits and not hate mail for all the work they had to do. LOL. I made notes, pages of them, and I'm learning. I've spent the past week, am still doing it now, going over my recent submissions to 'fix' them. I'm the 'like' eyes shut' - redundancy Queen so it's so nice to meet you! LOL. Hopefully soon I'll be the 'as if' eyes closed - not over stating to the point of redundancy Queen!
