What the writer says, and what the editor thinks:
This is just a Beta Release — It’s haemorrhaging errors
I fixed chapter 23 — the remaining 72 chapters are, however, crap
I’ll just kill off this character — procrastinating, has no idea how to proceed
And a time machine appeared in the middle of the kitchen — is addicted to contrived situations
This is just a temporary solution — she’s killed off yet another character
I’ll finish the edits by Monday — a decade from now
There’s no way I can estimate that — they will finish the first draft possibly this century
What’s a run-on sentence? — shoots self in head
