Thanks for the helpful reply, Shadow!

Well, I want to be an artist, so I've already said goodbye to any dreams of living comfortably :lol:

Makes sense - to my way of thinking, if I'm not willing to at least pay $500 for a thorough editing job on a novel, what the heck am I wasting time writing it for? Then again, I am a perfectionist. :P
"It is [the writer's] privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart,
by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride
and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past."
