I just recently sent a copy of a chapter from one of my works to a member of this forum because they offered to take a look and edit it. I had revised that chapter so many times before I sent it away and to my disappointing surprise there was a lot that the member here thought needed work on.
Now I took a look at all of their notes and while I agree with most all of them I never realized they were even there when I tried to edit myself. I guess I'm so used to writing with these bad habits it is hard to break them and see my mistakes.
So is there any advice you can give me to be able to see my mistakes? I was rather quite embarrassed by my sloppiness but when I read it on my own I thought it was gold. I obviously want to be a better writer so an invaluable skill I need to learn is how to see my mistakes and fix them. I think sometimes I try to be too descriptive and leads to awkward phrasing and redundancy so maybe I should try a more simpler approach.
I apologize in advance if there are any typos I am using my phone and I can't backspace anything because the cursor gets all messed up and goose back to the beginning.
