Re:
Not yet. I took a nap and decided to rest my eyes. I am about 80% through it, but I have already added about 9500 new words. To do that, I have to do some searching in the MS (manuscript) to ensure that I am not repeating the same thing two graphs down the way.
I have found many little things, but as Pat mentioned in a different thread, my writing and editing skills have sharpened immensely. One of my hometown print newspapers that I wrote sports articles for twenty-eight years is now asking me to write a different column type. She remarked that my writing had improved immensely over the last few years.
When I finish with this book, it will be something that anyone who suffers from depression or has suicidal thoughts might want to read.
Thank you... and it's good to see you back on the board!
Respectfully,
Verwayne

It is easy to omit a comma etc. I don't think many would notice. I have occasionally seen library books where the reader has made remarks on the page correcting the story throughout.

It all sounds like a plan.
