Six of my editorial failures

All are very secret. But I love challenging myself by telling secrets.

1. Sometimes I publish unedited texts on my personal channels. According to the principle: wrote — sent — forgot.
2. Sometimes I correct cruelly embarrassing mistakes after I published a post. I am correcting not because I suddenly brightened up (like I knew, but forgot), but because after a couple of seconds I frantically googled this word.
3. Sometimes I don’t read the texts of authors of whose competence I am sure. Because of this nasty habit of mine, there were incidents. And I swore not to do so — henceforth to read more carefully and fact-check.
4. I can hurry up and, without understanding the client’s task properly, start doing something. When I start to do it, I understand that I did not ask very important questions. So many people already say that a good editor always thoroughly understands the task, and I know about the importance of this thing. But it is happening again and again.
5. I am embarrassed to conduct interviews and do not like meetings. But each time, overcoming fear and embarrassment, I enjoy it, because I like to get to know people.
6. Sometimes, in the process of editing, emotions overcome me, and I get angry at the author or editor who sent the text. I can walk around the house and grumble. However, I can hold back and leave polite comments (god, thank you for that!). When emotions subside, I thank myself a hundred times for not saying too much.
