The Edit



I went over the draft at least 15 times and left some time between several of those visits in order to gain perspective. A considerable amount of time later I reviewed the draft yet again. It looked very good but the first paragraph needed tweaking. That caused me to go through the entire document. 

No changes.

But then, just as I was about to declare it finished, done, and over with, something troubled me. I checked the last page. Three of the words were fine but they could be just a little better. Three replacements sang to me and they got the part.

At that point, it was truly done.
