This is what happens when I am asked to edit a story.



This is only two pages.

What you probably can't make out, is how many suggestions and explanations are in brackets after all the blue highlights (which are things to change; yellow are simple additions)...

...

...I had to make a KEY at the top of the file explaining the highlight colors. That's how much of a psycho-editor I am.

I am enjoying the power-rush far, far too much. XD

Mel, I apologize in advance for how soul-crushing this is going to look to you!!! (I promise, I am not lying or exaggerating when I say the story is still amazing. My changes are things like sentence structure. Awkward sentences happen when you're good enough at writing to understand that you *can* mess with sentence structure. Most people aren't. You're awesome. Really. If you were not, I would not spend two hours on my day off to deal with ten pages of story.)
