Disclaimer.

I'm just a mom and wife, who happens to make chocolate from the bean, and used to make a living cooking in commercial kitchens.  Of all the things I am, what I am not is an editor.
I take, or more correctly, create time to do those things I love or absolutely need to do.  Writing is slowly becoming more and more enjoyable and the process is, surprisingly, deeply satisfying; however, editing ends my creative process.   With limited time to do things that are not creative, I will reread my posts about three times.  When I am really pushing myself, I will read the post out loud, finding the silly errors like shutter instead of shudder and not finding it later after it has been posted.  (I did make a comment on this particular mistake, but it doesn't always appear when I check my blog)
With eBlogger, making changes after the post is published means that you, the reader, get notifications that I have posted something new. I find this bothersome, as if I am calling and hanging up the phone just as you answer it. My solution is that once a month or so, I will be sending a notification that I am making corrections and to ignore the next notifications you receive that day.  It will be similar as the bank or credit card notifications we receive, that all of your information may be compromised, and they are working on it, but mine will not have the consequences as those. 

Now, make the world a better place and eat some chocolate. ;-)
