I’ve done remarkably well so far, but every once in a while I run into something so perplexing (to me, as the author) that I can’t help but leave an edit note
I do it professionally and it’s *so* hard. I’m a line editor by preference, and do proofreading because there’s a market. But I always have to stop myself from going beyond.
