I Am So NOT A Copy Editor

(www.thegoldenpencil.com)

I am so not a copy editor, and I am so appreciative of the good ones I know!

I’m doing the final pass on my book about how to write a book. I call it a pass, rather than an edit because I know I’m missing things. I always do! I am not one of those people who is good with tiny details.

If you looked at my cottage, you’d see what I mean. At first glance it looks pretty good, but I haven’t made my bed in days! And I’ll bet there are dust bunnies, maybe full grown dust rabbits under the coach. After months and months I still haven’t totally gotten my office together. Does anyone know where I can by 10 frames really cheap?

So I’ll do the best I can, then I’ll turn the manuscript over to a real copy editor and try not to blush too much when it comes back with correction marks all over it.

Write well and often,
