Proofreading with sarcasm
I have been reading for as long as I can remember...I used to get in trouble for not participating in family stuff and school. I enjoy correcting books for writers. I have read so many and sent them to the publisher and got a letter back telling me to keep up the good work and one day you’ll be where I am. Books were my escape from reality. They are my vacations, my free time, a life that’s free of pain and loss. I have a passion for books most don’t. I will hound a writer for an autograph before an actor. I was mercilessly teased and picked on for my love of books and instead of college I have lived a life of fighting with words and later fists. I learned how not to talk to people, how to hide in the pages of a book. I learned the English language in books, all the nuances and how to make them work better. I’m self taught on proofreading, through trial and error.
