    It's the obligatory new year blog post.

    And yes, I am posting this at around midnight on new year. I have a nasty cold, so I decided to disobey nurgle's one command and stay home.

    Just for kicks

    I'm mucking around with Lulu for a work-related project (very boring stuff) and thought I would do a quality test with something fun.

    Oh shit, words

    Or maybe that comma is in the wrong place. I haven't decided yet.

    The odd things

    I've just been reading through old comments on my scraps story, after publishing yet another chunk from the ancient cutting room floor. It's remarkable how many of the commenters are still around - but also how many logged off for the last time, soon after making their last comment there.

    But in brighter news

    While I'm not making any promises about any particular project here, I am actually writing again. I figure if I write enough of something, some pony words might drop out somewhere along the line as well. You never know. What I'm working on at the moment is essentially a re-write of a story I read a long time ago; an old pulp sci-fi tale, about a spaceship that manages to get lost in the

Anyone want to be a proof reader? · 11:29am Feb 22nd, 2013

I'm a terrible proof reader. Up to now I've relied on my wife, who is a very good proof reader, but she's a little bit tired of the ponies and has other things to be doing anyway, so she's not been keeping up with it as anyone who's seen the last couple of chapters of my works can testify.

So I need one. Not desperately, and probably not often either, but occasionally I might be pestering for another opinion on my work mostly to catch the spelling mistakes that are the inevitable price of being me. Anyone want to volunteer?

Oh yes, and the next chapter of No Room For Regret is out shortly (I keep saying that). I've made a bad pun in bad russian. I'm a terrible person.

I wish I could, but I have little experience outside of pre-reading.

I do have to admit that I find it a tad humorous that your wife has grown tired of helping you edit. She sounds supportive, though, which is always good. :twilightsmile:

I feel the pain. I have developed a remarkable ability to detect my errors right after hitting send though....

I am proof-reading for Myths and Birthrights presently. I suppose I could help you as well, though I work good with time tables; leisurely pace to me equals never.

i am bad inglis but mebbe can help little bit

I'd be willing to help.

I would be cool with helping, but like Fourpony, I need a timetable.

Well I'll make the offer. You don't know me, so I wouldn't expect you to try out my skills, but what you're asking for is something I've always been very good at.

I volunteer.
I would be honored to assist you.

How exactly would we go about this?

I'm game to be another pair of eyes, so if you don't have enough folks hit me up.

(I proof and edit for one other author, but I should still have the time.)
