Writer v Editor

Or, what the writers says and what the editor thinks …

This is just a Beta Release = It’s hemorrhaging errors
I fixed chapter 23 = but 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 contrivance
This is just a temporary solution = she’s killed off another character
I’ll finish the edits by Monday = a decade from now
There’s no way I can estimate that = will finish the first draft possibly this century
What’s a run-on sentence? = it’s time to take a holiday
