@nuetrobolt Hope nailed it, but I will add that the more revisions you perform, the better your chances of success (either at getting traditionally published or gaining an audience of readers who respect, value, and enjoy your books). Writing multiple drafts, recruiting beta readers, and then hiring a professional editor to help you with your weakest points (whether sentence-level issues or plot-related problems) will provide the best results. 🙂

Each writer has different methods and preferences for how they whip their manuscripts into shape, but generally you’ll need to create a system where you tend to the big-picture issues first and work your way down to fixing typos and grammar. The latter isn’t less important, but fussing over small errors doesn’t make sense when an entire chapter needs gutted and rewritten. 😉
