37: Understand
We sat on the table that Akuta-san was seating.
And a waitress came over and asked for our order.
Aoki-san ordered a hot black coffee.
With out a second thought, I also ordered the same thing.
When Akuta-san handed the manuscript to Aoki-san,
She looked
Anxious.
Uneasy.
I totally understand her.
That position as an author.
That moment.
When the work is being checked.
With worries.
That it might get rejected.
At the very last.
Moment.
-----------------------------------------
38: Really Good Editor
After Aoki-san finished reading the manuscript.
He handed the manuscript to me.
I guessed it meant that I should Have a look also.
I read it.
And I found no problem.
But Aoki-san did.
"Akuta-san, can you adjust the ending? It looks like you rushed for the ending. Otherwise everything is good to go."
"Yes!"
Akuta-san opened her laptop.
Started editing her manuscript in speed of light.
I had to admit.
That Aoki-san is a really good editor.
-----------------------------------------
39: Long Way
While the author was editing,
Aoki-san turned to me.
"So, did you find any problem?"
"No."
"I see... you have a long way to go, newbie."
I got annoyed.
But that was truth.
-----------------------------------------
40: Reason Behind
There is a reason behind why I became an author.
While I used to work as a editor
In Murakami Publisher.
All my editing seemed like a failure.
I was good in noticing in typo and grammar errors.
But I always failed to properly guide the author and manage them.
So,
I ran way from a job called 'editor'.
And.
Worked as an author for a while.
-----------------------------------------
41: Skill and Talent
To editors.
People like Aoki-san.
Are respectable.
Because they have the
Skills.
Talent.
To not only edit a book.
But to properly guide the author.
And
Make an outstanding book.
Probably regardless.
Of what kind of draft or manuscript.
Is assigned to be edited.
