Every Writer Needs and Editor
…and every editor needs a drink.
I’ve just started reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss. I am loving this book! I remember the hullabaloo when it came out and almost bought a copy with gift money last Christmas. As an writer and editor (www.mountzionpress.com) I can completely sympathize with Ms. Truss’s observations. “How can you be such a stickler?” you might ask. “I’ve read your blog. You have typos all over the place.” True. And I usually don’t bother to go back and correct them. My blogging style is a bit more relaxed and off-the cuff than others. I mentioned in an early post that iamasheep is like the kitchen junk drawer: you never know exactly what you’ll find, and sometimes you’ll find a treasure.
To my three or four regular readers, I apologize for not posting more regularly recently. I’ve had blogger’s block. Rest assured, I do not intend to abandon this blog for an extended period as I’ve done in the past.
Oh don’t worry Raphael. We know where you live. We’ll come and get you and tie you to the chair to get a blog post out of you! LOL!
And I am a huge fan of Eats, Shoots & Leaves also: I’ve read it several times. Count me as a stickler, though one that makes mistakes as well!
