24's Driving Himself Insane · 10:07pm Oct 6th, 2013
So.... yeah. You read the title right. I'm currently going nutso over trying to edit RoaDC and fix the issues that need to be addressed to get it onto Equestria Daily. This means that I've been more or less driving myself to the point of insanity to try and catch some incredibly general problems with no real reference as to where they might be. As such, the writing of RoaDC has been put on a hold until I can get this damn thing sorted out. I've got Chapter 7 left in reserve, but that's it. I'm hoping I can finish editing before I release it so I can get back to writing Chapter 8, but it's hard. Point is, writing and editing under a microscope at the same time is not something that I'm wanting to deal with. At least, definitely not by myself.
Therefore, the point of this blog is this: are there any grammar nazis or editors with keen eyes out there willing to help me out? I have a painfully small crew at my disposal already, and a story like this needs more. The more the merrier, in fact. This will help free time up for me that is otherwise going into editing so that I can focus more on writing. Otherwise, RoaDC is going to stall these next few weeks. Hard. And I sure as hell don't want that to happen. So: halp plz?

If I were an editor...
I'd offer my help.

I'm definitely willing to help out if you need it. I've been going slightly mad myself looking for something to do. Just let me know what specifically I need to do.
If you work on gdocs I will help out, my email is on my page.
If I didn't have my own current set of writing-related woes, I'd offer my assistance.
I could—No, you can't—Would you stop—GAAAAH! NO MORE ATTENTION SPAN!
Sorry, but I'm already swamped.
you're losing your mind? Hehe. Join the club. I haven't been completely "normal" for the past 4 years. Don't worry you get used to it. In fact, it just helps you write different and new ideas.

I used to do beta reading on Fanfiction.net... but yeah, I kinda lost my enthusiasm for it. I can do spell checking though country differences may be a tad bit annoying.. Colour/Color per se..
It looks like the Smooze is getting to the 24th'.
I haven't really done this before but I think I definitely qualify as a spelling/grammar Nazi...
I have exams until Wednesday, after that I think I should be free.
P.S Just a heads up, I go by the British spelling of words.
I don't have a ton of free time, but I could find time to run a fine-tooth comb over whatever you could send my way. Curious though, do you work with gdocs?
