I agree with Cathy's method of allowing copy to "marinate" overnight. It's amazing how a mere 24 hours can sharpen one's perspective.

Cathy, that IS lazy. I would say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but that's not true. Theft is a pain in the arse.

Talk about lazy!

It is so easy to fall into our overused words. When I'm not thinking about it, I do. As I told one reader, I think at times we all get lazy. I rely on my copy marinating at least overnight so I can edit for those sneaky bouts of laziness.

What's frustrating is when you've done that and then the client edits them right back in. 🙁
