It's all very well being a writer/editor, but it's pretty nigh impossible to edit your own words.
On several occasions I have embarrassed myself in editorial email fora/ums by accidentally mistyping, or scrambling my words as I edit and re-edit a message in the vain hope of ending up error-free. Now I find I'm doing it on my very own blog. Dammit.
If I wasn't trying to maintain my anonymity (for the precise reason that I don't want fellow editors to come here and carp), I'd offer a prize for readers who find errors. But I'd run out of prizes pretty quickly…
Editing someone else's writing is much easier, and I do have happy clients to prove it.

Just testing. Someone says they can't post comments on this blog, so I've fiddled with my settings to see whether that helps, but I guess it's likely that posting as 'myself' doesn't count. Hmm
