Editing

Finished a hundred-page edit for a writing friend tonight. Hard work, and I am glad it is done. But satisfying. I like to believe I improved the final product beyond just fixing errors. She told me to go ahead and add or delete as I saw fit, so I did. Cut a lot, added a bit here and there. It is still 99%-plus her work, but tighter and smoother.

Freelance Jobs

Been looking into freelance job sites recently, Guru and IFreeLance.com. Looks interesting. I'd love to get into editing and proofreading for pay. Currently I do proofing for free for selected people.

It's fun, in a strange way. Some people do puzzles or memorize sports trivia. I like to wrestle with the intricacies of sentence structure, grammar and word choice.
