Anyone you can mention? :) I'm a bit this way, as rereading is never my thing, and I'm curious.
And in reply to the thread: those are really interesting observations! Like Neurovore said, it's probably partly because of the get-things-moving-now voice of the DFs. But it's still intriguing, as a person whose descriptions are the key problem. :)

Not really, I'm afraid; I'm pretty strictly enjoined to secrecy with regards to the books I second-read and crit before publication. (NY Times bestsellers they're not, but Hugo and Nebula nominees I can count on that list, and winners of a couple of other awards.)

Is that a job or a vocation?

It's a vocation; thought I'd said that my day-job is bioinformatics web databases ? Though if I could sell fiction and support myself and my family thereby I'd do that like a shot.

It's likely that you did and I simply forgot; life has been excessively fatiguing lately. And I'm forgetful even when well-rested. Anyway, what I was talking about wasn't selling fiction as much as it was reading it professionally. Now THAT is MY dream job.
