I had a lot of things that Word wouldn't fix, like you had said, such as when I decided to change what I was writing but my brain went faster than my fingers were typing so Poca would be like uh these are all words but it's like you put two sentences together that make no sense.
I agree editing your own work is near impossible so it's either find someone as wonderful as Poca or you will end up paying a lot. My quote for an editor (basic editing meaning only grammar, no continuity) was over $2k and I was like ffffuuuuuccckk that.
Oh, fuck the hell out of that. And it's really crazy when they ask for hundreds or even thousands of dollars then send me an email with a typo or a sample where they correct the grammar in character dialogue.
So I'm thinking about finding a graduate program for fiction editors and maybe making an arrangement with a professor to give a student credits as well as a reasonable stipend from me. How much did Poca charge you. Or I can ask him, since he's right here.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
