EDITING SERVICES

As a writer, I often wonder where do my words fall after they leave my pen and my computer. Who reads what I write? Who sees the humor in the turn of my phrases? Is anyone inspired? Does anyone laugh?

As some of you know, I write regularly for the Senior Beacon monthly publication that covers Southern New Hampshire. My column is titled, "Living On what I Learned after 65". It's sort of a tongue in cheek approach to aging with humor. I've covered a myriad of topics over the years and until this month, have never received a direct response. But this month I wrote about getting in step with modern terms, word meanings and inventions. Such as progressing from out house to farming-out to out-sourcing or Pen Pal to Pay Pal in the blink of a Blog.

I have never actually come right out and said how old I am in any of my articles but imagine my surprise when an 86-year old gal from Plymouth, Massachusetts sent me a letter via the newspaper. She wrote, "I finally found out how much older I am than you because of some of things you wrote about". She's 86 and I'm in my 80th year.

Writing is a hobby, a habit, a catharsis, an addiction at times and at other times a complete frustration when the words simply won't come.

One of the big reasons Kay and I started offering our literary services to other writers is to help them with the process of word-smithing, clarity, sentence structure, etc. If any of our Blog readers are budding writers or even experienced writers, a second pair of eyes on an article, thesis or dissertation is always a good thing.
