I have copy edits on IMMORTAL OUTLAW coming the first week in January. Those are the ones where you and the copy editor (not your “editor” at most houses, but a grammar-freak-with-a-red-pencil-for-hire) clean up your commas, fix mis-usages, find those dropped periods, and catch all your typos.

You hope.

I ran into this video from slam poet/comedian/teacher Taylor Mali over on Writers Technology Companion Today that is so funny–and so totally apropos–I had to post it.  (Warning: NOT Safe For Work, unless you have on headphones)
