And I cannot emphasize too highly the need for good, professional editing. Every writer needs it, even the best.

No argument there... I've got 2 stories waiting to be writ, but the various other duties of self-promo (like website updating and redesign, as well as investigating other promo options) are keeping me from them as we speak...
er, write.
Maybe I'd churn out more stories, and they would be that much better, if I could get a publisher or put an editor on retainer. But since I cannot, I make do with the work I must do myself.
