YEAH, I'M A BAD EDITOR. Some of that is bad eyesight, some of it is the bad habit I've gotten into by relying on automatic spell-check whereas before I'd carefully read what I wrote and possibly notice that I'd typed out a word but it wasn't the right word. I am trying to break that habit. Another problem is that when I'm editing I sometimes delete too much and a noun or verb that agreed before editing doesn't agree anymore. When something isn't underlined in red I have gotten too reliant on the technology, my ever greater exposure to "AI" is making me wish I could turn some of that off.
On top of that I don't have the time to spend hours writing and rewriting most days so what you get is like TV production, quick and dirty - as a fine Canadian actress once said it.
