Writers preparing a book for publication should be aware that you can over edit your work. I’ve known people who go over their material time and time again, changing a few words here and there, and then go over it again.
Yes, rewriting is important. However, there is a time to stop and send it out. If we constantly look for perfection we will be disappointed every time since perfection does not exist in this world. We can come close but there will always be something that someone doesn’t like.

Then stop.
