BE
MY EDITOR AND GET CREDIT
FOR CORRECTING ME!
Since
I first started writing for different publications, including
my own, I have always had a problem with proofing my own stuff.
It is a scientific fact, that the brain sees what it thinks
is correct, even if it is not...especially when you wrote
it (at least that is what I told my high school English teacher).
The
fact is...I am doing this for fun, and I have my own style.
I use too damn many commas, I tend to put "quotes"
on all sorts of phrases incorrectly to make my point (mostly
sarcasm) and do all sorts of other things that drive REAL
book-learned English majors and editors nuts.
HOWEVER...as
I am admitting to my problem...I am happy to give you credit
when I am in error...or the spell checker doesn't catch something.
E-mail
me with the correction...and if I choose to take your advice
(I may ignore you when it comes to commas and quotes), I will
add you to my list of SPECIAL ONLINE EDITORS!
I
know it's not much...but I don't make a dime with this thing...so
fame will have to do!
