EDITING TIP: Besides The Frugal Editor (www.budurl.com/TheFrugalEditor), here's another great tool that helps you let your computer be an editing aid instead of an editing detriment: Try EditMinion.com.
Let them explain for themselves what they do: "Welcome! EditMinion is a robotic copy editor that helps you refine your writing by finding common mistakes. To get started, you just paste a chapter of writing into a box on our Web site and click Edit! Don't paste too much or the script will stop responding. This is still very much in Beta and I'll be adding features as I come up with them. If you have suggestions, tweet @DrWicked or email imp@editminion.com. Thanks!" http://editminion.com/ Thanks to my poetry partner, Magdalena Ball, for this tip.
