Three things I have learned while editing my current WIP
- I spend too much time on “Where to put a comma” websites.
- And I promptly forget whatever rules I learned on those sites
- My chapter numbers are out of order
- There is a reason people hire editors*
Did I say three? See what I mean?

Commas! They are whimsical little buggers.

To add to Neil’s erudite comment on commas, I can only quote my current favorite tee shirt:
“Let’s eat Grandma.
Let’s eat, Grandma.
Commas save lives.”
