Editing for Blind Trust · 6:02pm Dec 22nd, 2012
So, I see two people replied to my call for proof-reading: MiraPrower and ExcitedReader! I am happy that both of you are willing to help me out. So I welcome you both! I think it would be a good idea if you both tried to edit 2 of my chapters so I can see if you do a nice job. In case both of you do a good contribution, I could make you both my editors since I've seen stories with more than one editor before. That is if both of you are all for it! Here's what I think are important editor skills:
1 finding major plot line mistakes
2 finding major character faults
3 be able to decorate the atmosphere of a setting with words (aka descriptive language for the changing environments)
4 to have the distinct capability to describe the impressions and states of emotions a character goes through
5 grammar mistakes, reformulating sentences
6 typing down the corrections you make in different font colors so I know the difference between the original and edited version
7 notes at the end of a chapter on your remarks about 1 and 2
about 3 and 4: you can add some of your descriptive storytelling sentences only if you find a segment of a chapter that is very lacking on descriptions or if something's wrong with it
Hmmm, I can try to ^_^. So want me to proof the first 4 then?
638356 You can start with chapter 1, 2, 3, 6 or 7 (#4 is the only edited one and I don't want to push you with the gargantuan chapter 5) . Pick any chapter you want or if you feel like it, pick as many as you feel like doing. Jus download em via the download mode on the story page. If you have a problem with that, or questions, or you just want to deliver the edited versions contact me on my e-mail: danail24@abv.bg
Okay Im going to start doing these today. Ive had a realllllllly busy last week.
