   I think editing is most of the effort.
   Getting something down and tidying it up is perhaps a third of the job. Making sure everything fits perfecting, working in new ideas and streamlinging, deciding what is really needed two thirds.

     I'm not talking line editing I'm talking turning a first draft into something fit to go out in public.
