I missed this thread. I think all fields are valuable and needed.

My editor taught me how to self-edit but the one problem I have with it is...I have to stop myself from doing it until after a piece is finished. I would never finish that way and it stops the creativity. I love the creativity process but hate the editing.

Publishers don't want to have to groom a writer and why people send in dirty manuscripts is beyond me. They are either lazy or just don't care. I'm amazed by some of the books I've read. I have a mental red ink marker in my brain that is slashing through entire paragraphs.
