Writers can be an incredibly quirky bunch, but occasionally you come across someone SO incredibly ass-backward and unprofessional that you find the entire situation utterly unbelievable. You almost expect hidden cameras to be shown to you at any given moment. Long story short: A potential client contacted me over a manuscript he'd like to have … Continue reading Unbelievable!
Writing
A Professional…
I disagree with this slightly. There are way too many amateurs who think they're professionals when they aren't. There are also too many professionals who behave like amateurs. 'Being professional' doesn't necessarily mean published for the world to read. Some of the most brilliant writers have yet to see publication. A lot of time 'being … Continue reading A Professional…

If I Waited…
Nothing and no one is perfect.

I think it is, by far, the fastest I have edited in a while, but factoring in that everyone gives me projects with different word … Continue reading Another One Bites The Dust
