Why Should I Edit?
#12
I don't know how relationships with editors are. I know a lot of online sites want to just say you're an idiot. Some books, like The Great Gatsby, have narrative inconsistencies subtly woven in: Some people would catch those and want them to be fixed, and if you say you put them in on purpose they say to not question their critique, you're just trying to save face. People like that you can't talk to.

The big thing that people who read my fiction complain about is how sometimes my narrators talk like they're people, and use incorrect language and dialect, even when they're not people. Not first person narrators or characters.

People act like that's not allowed, or unheard of.
