I've said before that going over your editor's edits is the most fun a writer can have. At least this writer. You have the knowledge that your book is getting published, so all that pressure is off your back. And even better, it adds to the fun. You see how your writing is improving by leaps and bounds. You learn a lot, too, and again, by leaps and bounds.
Fortunately, I learned about the difference between Shin Bet and Mossad, and in time to be included in this latest round of edits. Most importantly, all the grammar and punctuation, etc. will be spot on. Because there will always be haters out there. People will criticize other people's work just for the sake of criticism. And it's better if that criticism was based on something subjective, like whether or not they liked something based solely on their opinion. But if it's something objective, like flaws in grammar, punctuation, et al, that could be embarrassing. And that's the biggest benefit in having a strict editor. I'm glad my editor at Penumbra is as strict as they come.
