Several readers have recommended replacing my editors - Thorny, Steven, and Mike - with software. Probably because I twit those boyos so mercilessly. (Now, mercilessly doesn't necessarily mean undeservedly.)
I haven't yet tested any of the editing software that's out there. But I imagine it would be terrific on spelling, maybe grammar and syntax. Which, I never can quite remember what syntax is. But writers talk about it.
However, can software incorporate decades of human experience in fields such as military, technology, pharmacology?
Can software point out contradictory stances from the same character? Recommend new plot lines? Suggest roadblocks and solutions?
Can software tell you when you have your head up your keister?
Of course if the answer is, yes; software can do all of that and more … well, Adios Muchachos.
