Thanks ! OMG I needed this advice years ago! My story on this makes your point big time. I will keep this short. I hated to get presents as a kid because my father would make me write a thank you notes. This took hours on my part I could not write well or spell and my father was a proof reader. I barely got through school and I hated to read. In about 2001 I typed a book with two fingers. The book was about 24,000 words and about what my new book is about the only then I did not have all the answers now I do. I drove 40 minutes and gave my book to a proof reader when I got it back it was marked up worse than I thought any ten people combined could do. I stopped working on the book for over a year.
