Open original source ↗I have liked every single written work I’ve read, of which someone said “he needs an editor”.
Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
be honest (though I assume this is one of those things where what people think they want and what they actually want can differ) would you rather read a sprawling, wild, interesting piece of writing that might have benefitted from a good editor but is honest and raw, or a polished, clean, well structured, obviously edited, saner, organized piece without the bedhead of the original? it's almost but not exactly like the question whether you prefer the over-produced radio-edit or the scratchy slightly out-of-tune home demo
