Maybe she could weed the occasional dual action out of my manuscript. I know I do this sometimes, but I try to be better. D for effort! Sometimes, I wish I had a clone.

I know what you mean, they're always getting in the way...! Tessa - Putting it back together, that sounds like quite the task! Editing is such a process... some days I love it, some days I hate it, but in the end, it makes our stories stronger. Even if we want to tear our hair out in the process. ;) Misha – Those darn participles! I know what you mean, they’re always getting in the way…!

It's amazing what mistakes can creep into your writing when you're not looking. And impossible simultaneous actions can really become a bad writing habit. :-) Haha I’m constantly watching for participles anyway, since they tend to unnecessarily complicate my sentences.
