A rewarding stress! · 4:31am Nov 27th, 2014
Wow! Proofreading and editing are very stressful. Although, very rewarding when the author approves the edits you gave them. When I proof my own work and edit it, it can change quite a bit from the original. When doing this for somebody else... It makes it harder because you want to stay true to the meaning behind their words, even though there might be some grammar mistakes or spelling or whatnot. So finding the right phrasing or structure is tough.
I still find this in my own works (very frustrating). That's why a good proofread by another set of eyes is always good. They will usually catch stuff that you didn't.
Anyway.
Happy writing all!
And
Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I said this a million times in the pm.
I was actually rather depressed today sine I messed up in basketball, and well my mood really lifted when I head you say you worked so hard, I'm proud and glad you helped, it made me feel good that you worked real hard, like the way I was when I was when writing it..
I'm glad I was able to lift your spirits. PM on the way!
2618782 Did you get my PM?

The reply to: "We Managed To Get Through!!" ?
Cause if it is something else, then I haven't gotten it, yet..
Ok. Well, did you mean to leave your original content and my edits in the story that got approved?

?
Did I mess up somewhere???
You need to look at it.
It reads very funny having your original paragraph and then my edited one right below it. One of them needs to come out I would think.
Unless you want them left there for a comparison. But I don't think that is the point of the story.

Ignore my stupidity..
I fixed it..
Gosh, no wonder I have trouble in school..
I read it, and ooh, yeah I will try to never ever, actually have a comparison without thinking twice..
Awesome! I started reading, and thought "Oh NO!"
Do have Microsoft Word?

No, my ipad does not..
However, I can use one of my relative's computer which has microsoft if I ask permission..
It's just easier to send word docs as an attachment on an email rather than through the PM here.
No problem though.
