E is for....

Editing! Gotcha! I bet you thought I was back with the marriage series. I am afraid not. I have been inundated with editing requests from friends, relatives and paying clients.

My freelance business was intended to be more writing spiced with some editing but it's turning out to be loads of editing and almost inexistent writing. I am beginning to edit in my sleep and when awake, I am forming new words. I can't complain though, it beats idleness amongst other things.

Anyway, I just did not want to leave you all wondering why I zapped. You bet I am working on the real E for the marriage/relationship series and will post it soon.

In the meantime, enjoy this quote I like by Blishen Edward, on editing "The work was like peeling an onion. The outer skin came off with difficulty... but in no time you'd be down to its innards, tears streaming from your eyes as more and more beautiful reductions became possible."
Gotta run, a deadline looms, E is for Editing!
