I'm currently struggling with my literary projects. I can whomp out a 50,000 word novel every November in NaNoWriMo, no sweat.... but it's been over a decade now and I really need to get to editing at some point. Shit.

You need an editor!

Well, the whole point of NaNoWriMo is to produce a viable first draft. Some of these are so far removed from final draft it's not even funny. None of these drafts are good enough to be accepted by editors at publishing houses, sadly. ...No matter if we're operating in the ideal sphere of literary merit or the actual crass sphere of marketability publishers respect.

Ohhh I see! Fiverr editor? Use cgatGPT to suggest edits? I've had some success using chatGPT as an informal editor for a few chunks of text
