There is one universal truth in writing - the need to edit, edit, edit. The lack of editing can kill a good story, changing the read from a pleasure to a chore. A good story shouldn't be a chore.
Editing a story provides a distinct sense of polish and can make a mediocre story good, or a good story great. A few details like comma placement, paragraph transitions, and word corrections can make a huge difference in meaning and tone. The polish editing provides projects a sense of caring to the material presented.
'Seeing' is not the same as 'seen'. Palpable and palatable aren't even in the same ballpark. Using 'there, their, and they're' really does make a difference. We may lose our audience if our meaning is lost in translation, or they must work to decipher what we're getting at. Or errors annoys them lol
Edit FTW - polish that sucker 'till it shines. Just sayin'.
Happy reading/writing!
