I consider myself to be moderately good at explaining complex ideas.
What I utterly suck at is writing anything of any significant size. I'm
not good at deciding what order to explain stuff in. (And I've very
indecisive...)
Having somebody else review it helps. They're the ones who point out
that you've neglected to explain something because it's just so utterly
obvious to you that you forgot somebody else wouldn't necessarily know this.
I haven't had the pleasure of working with a professional editor yet.

Yeah. Logically, there must be books and courses and things somewhere
which explain how to do this properly. I mean, professional sound
engineers don't just pop up out of the ground. They have to learn from
*somewhere*. Chances of you or me finding this information? Negligible.

Well, it depends on whether you want credit for other people's
ignorance, or credit because you actually did something worthwhile...
