{October 17, 2008}   Self-Editing Resources.

Yesterday I posted a listing of sites I had saved in my email about Mystery Writing Resources. Today I’m passing on some sites about Self-Editing. These are all things many of us know, but they do not hurt to post and look over now and again. Some of these pages do overlap in info, but some do have things that others do  not have.  Happy Editing!
