Dance
like nobody is watching; dream as if you will live forever; live like
you will die tomorrow; love like it will never hurt; hope like there is no
disappointment; write as though you have nothing to lose...

"That's why I call myself a witch now: the Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention." -- Elphaba, Wicked

Profession: Editor, full-time student
To live in the shadows, to flee from the light; to fight for the darkness, to die for the night.
To reign over anger, to leash in the fear; to herald the bringing, to force all to hear.
I ride through the darkness, I cast out the flame; I sharpen in shadow, I slaughter in rain.
I set out in fury, I shatter their means; I bathe in destruction, I leave fading dreams.

Picture me shrugging right now and you have the right idea - there simply
is not a whole lot to say about me. I am supposedly sarcastic,
cynical, utterly insane, odd, etc. - with a sense of humour fit to strip paint, so,
well, I leave that to you to interpret as you will.
As stated, I am a full-time student, and as such, the academic lifestyle does take priority. My academic year runs from around September to May/early June, and I therefore ask that you be understanding of delay during that time period. In all honesty, it does neither of us any good whatsoever for me to fail all of my classes because I had to work. Once that happens, my work dies, anyway, so please smile, nod, and keep that in mind...
I am one of the strange equestrian crowd (being one of them, I am allowed to say that...) and own four horses on the West Coast of the U.S., so I spend a rather disproportionate amount of time injured, having been thrown or run over or gotten stuck fixing some emergency or another... so if I cannot respond to your email right away, it is not anything personal. Blame my horses. Or rather, not, but you get the picture.
That aside... I got into editing years ago, but it was exceedingly small-scale, running for a few close friends by request. I love English and writing, so I figured I would come in and see if people wanted help; if you do not want mine, then why are you here?
I love nothing more than having
someone's writing improve as I watch subsequent submissions come in. It has
happened multiple times, and it is always nice to see. It picked up more a year or two ago, so I left a
profile up in various places for people to run through and began receiving more consistent
requests. As has to be, I then got sick of several of the places I was running at
and decided to move, so I actually gave myself a name, finally got around to getting a licence, and came
here. It is a lot less confusing to run through the information
here, rather than in one enormous post, so I suppose it benefits all
of us.
It is still run off of my laptop and on my own time, so no, I do not have
automated email notifications and a team of sixty people managing dates and performing secondary proofing
for me. Granted, that would be nice, but hey...
Over the years, I picked up an interest in language. As stated, though I work solely in English, I do have a basic understanding of Spanish, Italian, and some German and Latin. It makes for a rather convenient working opportunity...
Now, please do not sue me; see the disclaimer at the bottom of the home page. If you sue me, well, I am a student whose random bits of spare cash go to the bank, and seeing's it is just me that is running this place, you really will not get much out of the lawsuit... The horses are technically under my parent's name, so you might, at best, get a couple CDs and a book or two... Perhaps not even... So keep that in mind!
So that is pretty much all I have to say about myself; enough about me. Start writing and get in touch!!
