looking to edit

[trick_or_treat]

Hi everyone. I am new here and mostly want to edit for spelling/grammar, although I will definately tell you if I think a section or paragraph needs to be re-written and give an over-all view of the whole piece. Also, I am in Canada and generally write using 'English' spelling, but can edit either that or 'American' spelling - just let me know!

I have been reading here for awhile and hate how these trivial things can interrupt a great story-line!

I should be able to return stories within a few days, depending on the length, as I am a stay-at-home Mum. I am certainly willing to help out some of the busier editers without 'taking over' their authors. In fact, that might be a great way to start as it sounds like they would probably want to quickly go over it before sending it back to the author.

Anyways, let me know if I can help you!

Hi ToT and welcome to the EF

It's good to see someone from my neck of the wood around here.

Welcome to Bellvue's outpatient division. Don't be frightened if some of us start having debates with doorknobs--and losing. Lady C always passes out our Thorazine in the nick of time.

Yeah, but you STILL haven't explained why there are pictures of caribou on the backs of Canadian quarters! My theory is simple: real caribou are too big to fit onto a coin.

Wrong reason hun...it's because the crocs couldn't deal with pisspoor tie-wrap.

Lol

I guess I should read my own stuff before posting, hey? (although I was reading a post about how hard it is to edit your own work)

I'm from BC, so probably a lot of people here are 'closer' to you, Lady C, but it's nice to see someone else from our wonderful country.

Reminds me of the famous anecdote about George Vancouver: ostensibly, he landed in coastal B.C. in 1793, selected a small party of crewmen, and ordered them to march inland until they reached the eastern edge of "the island." With luck, they'll be stumbling into Halifax some day next November.
