Dear early career researchers: I have been writing papers for 17 years. A professional editor just sent back edits on a first draft of a 4 page text. Except for 5 lines, the whole document was red. This is how it goes! Don't feel bad if you get a massive amount of suggested changes on early drafts. The paper will most likely be better for it in the end.
@lakens 5 full lines without any comments? Well, I guess I still have a long way to go to get there
@matthiasdoering They feel like the best writing I have ever done in my life now ;)
@lakens Rightly so. Print them, frame them, turn them into a tuxedo
