Today, February 11, 2007, marks the beginning of my new venture, A Word Aptly Written, Inspired Editing & Proofing. This blog will endeavor to give you tips and tricks with my favorite thing, words. The tips will come both from me and from a host of learned others.
I have loved words since I was a child. I was the kid who always won the spelling bees and scored the hundreds on English tests. (Math was quite another story!) I was a voracious reader, gobbling up book after book after book from the time I can remember. For the past thirteen years I have worked almost exclusively with words, transcribing, editing, proofing and helping people write more effectively. I had often thought of turning this into my life’s work, but the time never seemed right; that is, until I was requested to edit my first book. It was a magical experience and I knew I was finally hooked. A Word Aptly Written was born in my brain that day. Today, with the launching of my web site, it is born for all to see!
Watch for my first entry tomorrow, Monday, February 12th (Abe Lincoln’s birthday). Then check back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for my adventures in the world of words.
