So...it's OK for painters to sign their name to a finished work without having a professional painting retoucher give it a few extra brushstrokes...its OK for a sculptor to step back and declare their work "Fin!" without having another guy with a chisel poke at the rock...it's OK for a quilter to piece, back, quilt and bind without being made to rip it apart by the local Quilt Fixerupper who dislikes the color mauve...but writers *MUST* hand off their work to someone else and let them have a go at it before it's done?
Heh.
We'll just have to disagree.
