I usually run everything through 4-5 edits. But there is a diminishing return element to editing: if you don't notice a mistake the second time it's because you are blind to it! Maybe this will get big enough that I can hire my eldest (soon to get his English Ed degree) to edit!

I never understand how anybody can edit their own writing. I always read what I meant to say, rather than what I actually said. My only hope at self-editing is waiting until after I forget what I wrote, which fortunately is becoming a shorter and shorter wait period as I age.
