"No matter how good you think your first draft is, chances are it isn't ready for the world to see. Chances are it isn't ready for anyone to see. Every first draft needs editing. Every second and third draft also need editing. It doesn't matter whether you're Margaret Atwood, Stephen King or Jane or John Doe.
