Instead of investing all my rocks in a round of editing, I know THIS round is just one of a dozen, so any improvement at all is progress... It's a slowish way to do it, but it seems to be the only way I can do it without overthinking it so far that it ruins the voice.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079552159314645865.post-19208688022398106262013-02-19T10:31:21.540-08:002013-02-19T10:31:21.540-08:00Remember the post I did about you and over polish ...Remember the post I did about you and over polish syndrome...go get the refresher course chick.
