When people say 'editor' they are thinking of grammar and punctuation, but that is only half of editing.Sherri Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303173531928181614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330112758211831911.post-14828203065956197422014-02-08T17:06:50.226-08:002014-02-08T17:06:50.226-08:00So do I Renee.

For sure, it would not have been comfortable.I know some authors "practice" positions on dolls, but just because you can make a doll do it, doesn't mean a human can. To write a scene that goes from anal sex to vaginal sex without clean-up in between is irresponsible even if it is fiction.<br /><br />Many authors hear "editing" and they think punctuation, grammar and typos, but CONTENT editing needs to come first. A good content editor helps you tell your story in the best possible way.Cara Bristolhttp://www.carabristol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330112758211831911.post-82140846951809028992014-02-07T17:47:49.412-08:002014-02-07T17:47:49.412-08:00LOL-- I have an awesome beta reader who always cal...LOL-- I have an awesome beta reader who always calls me on the cleanliness issues (like-- what did they do with the butt plug? when does he wash his finger?). I agree entirely-- a content editor is worth their weight in gold. :)Renee Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414212384941364401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330112758211831911.post-39265459290342174642014-02-07T17:36:21.026-08:002014-02-07T17:36:21.026-08:00Agreed.

It's always interesting when you read something, especially a love scene, and stop to wonder how this body part got there when just a second ago it was somewhere else.
