My editing brain picked out a few things, but my regular brain enjoyed the article. Heck, I may need to put some of those tips in to practice someday!


Awesome job! <3

The editors already worked on it. . - .

Yeah, one thing I immediately spotted was "alright," which is not a word and should be "all right." But besides the editors' slip-up, very nice article. smile

Actually, alright is one of those words that, while kinda incorrect, has pretty much been accepted as a word on it's own. I wouldn't worry about it, personally.

Most of the things I noticed were things that sounded kind of vague or unclear.

And yeah, I want to do proofreading as a job in the future, so it's kind of hard for me not to start trying to correct things when I read them...

Ugh, I'm sorry I want to point out little things to help, but I also don't want to take away from how awesome it is for you to have your work published!

Seriously, I'm a nitpicky b*****d. Don't worry about me. Keep being awesome!

PS: KITTEHS!

No, no. It's ok. 4laugh
I know what you mean, I think.

It's my first piece, I usually write for my blog and I'm a little bit more messier with that. Not super messy or something. I went through it thousands of times, and two editors looked over it as well.

In all honesty, I was very nervous to publish it.

But what exactly sounded vague/unclear?
I'd like to know, to prevent it in the future.

Ok, I put on my editing glasses (that's what I call it when I really get down to editing. Similar to my bossypants, but less likely to result in someone hating me.)

I ended up copying and pasting the thing to word and making notes and tracking changes. Do you have microsoft word? sweatdrop

Man, I would love to be a proofreader. It'd be a near perfect job for a writer like me. 3nodding

Now, I do love to write, but I kind of consider writing and proofreading to be two totally different things in my mind. They make me happy for different reasons.

Anyway, I thought I had a way to just host the file online so you could download it, but I can't remember my username or password for this one place...

I could always just e-mail it to you.
