Loved this behind-the-scenes glimpse into your editing process, Randy. It’s rare to see someone speak so candidly about both the collaboration and the humility it takes to truly refine a manuscript. Marti sounds like a gem—part sharp-eyed editor, part creative ally.

Your honesty about the “not quite done yet” moment after editing rings so true. That realization—that finishing a draft is just the beginning—is a rite of passage for any writer. But your willingness to dig back in and polish until it shines? That’s the mark of a real craftsman.

Thanks for sharing the ups, the oops, and the lessons. It’s quietly inspiring.
