I 55 years old and I self-edit. There, I've said it. BUT....Chatty is on the money here. DO NOT let that be your last edit. EVER. EVER. EVER. Did I say ever?

You WILL NOT catch the obvious. Why? Because you've memorized the entire project. You read it as you've memorized it, not what's on the page.

And don't get Momma to edit it either. Momma loves you. She's going to say it's wonderful. If you can get someone besides Momma OR your best friend, do so. Objectivity is what you need. Someone without an emotional attachment to you. Try your Ex...only joshin'....
