Of course, this birthday is a little more melancholy seeing as how it's the first one since I lost my father last year.

Editor Wanted · 10:37pm Jun 8th, 2014
I know it hasn't been more than two days since I posted my last blog, but this was necessary. It turns out, according to super3rainbow1, that what I really need for my story is an editor. Does anyone know where I can find an editor or if anyone reading this is an editor? And since I already asked for a proofreader, I suppose I could do with help from an editor and two proofreaders. I mean, the more help, the more likely the story will be a success, right? So, if anyone can help me out with this, I'd be really grateful.

Yeah, I made a thread there after you told me where to look. Unfortunately, no one has come forward to help me yet.
If I wasn't swamped with my travesty of a story and editing of said travesty of a story I would totally...go find you a decent proper editor that would do your story justice...because speaking of my experience...I am a terrible editor...and I know I would just make things worse.
However, in all seriousness, if you can't seem to find one...for whatever reason...and are desperate enough...I would gladly offer my not-so-helpful hand in support to help you edit your story. I do not recommend using me though because as stated before I am pretty bad...so think of me as a last resort if worst comes to worst sort of deal...and if every editor on the planet is magically and mysteriously preoccupied with something...I am available...though like I said I should be a last resort kind of thing...
Oh and if you do decide to take me on as an editor...for whatever reason...be advised I'm not going to be helpful/available during weekdays and only weekends for the most part...mostly Saturday and Sunday...maybe Friday because Monday-Friday is my "Write Obnoxiously Long Chapter to Original Story" time and Weekends are my "Edit Obnoxiously Long Chapter to Revised Story" time and it's because I'm editing my stuff on Weekends is where you're welcome to have me as an editor...because I'll already in the editing mood...so I'll do yours...hell I'd gladly toss my crap aside to look at something else thank you...anything's better than looking at my stuff...
So there, that's my advise/proposition/not-very-helpful-volunteering.

Thanks, but I'll keep looking. Someone is bound to turn up and offer their services.

Any chance you'd be willing to help me? You seem to know a lot about what I need to do.

Good idea...just remember though my door is always open...literally it's always open and it's not by choice...it's jammed and I can't close it...I've been complaining to the apartment heads for weeks and in the meantime I've been using a curtain...so maybe I should say my curtain is always open...ehhh...that doesn't sound right...god I wish my door wasn't jammed...
Anyways good luck and don't be afraid to ask me to edit...or be very afraid...one of those two...whatever works for you. Like I said I'd gladly toss my unreadable filth aside in the garbage can where it belongs to edit better stories...huh...maybe I should change positions from bad writer to not as bad editor...hmmm...that could be a plan...anyways...just know that I'm always available if needed...
2197320 I've read a ton and have a little experience but even that isn't enough. I can be a good proofreader and know what makes up a story but I don't have enough to be an editor :/

Well, since you're offering to help, you can consider yourself in the running for my second proofreader. As for me finding an editor, CriticalReviewSection has offered to help me with that and I get the feeling he's just the start.
2202176 I suppose I can help with that if I'm not busy. And yah, I know he offered.
