Sarah, I’m so sorry to take so long responding — thanks for your patience and for this thoughtful question. We’ve been talking about it and would like to respond at greater length than a comment conversation, if that’s all right with you.

More soon!

Thanks for sharing this.

Giggling at the ‘Abbess Phone Home’ in the Turkey City Lexicon. But it’s a serious point.

The ‘common mistakes’ link was super educational… thanks!

I liked the Turkey City Lexicon. It would make a great companion to the Evil Overlord List.

Kelley,

I’m curious what you think about the future of freelance editing, as the publishing industry continues to adjust and change. I see more writers self-publishing their work–and many of them are very good, professional writers already. Will more editors enter the freelance market as well, as big publishers downsize?

Also, if that’s the case I’ve been wondering if we will have to become more focused in which writers we choose to work with (and at what point in their learning curve), and with whom to build our reputations.

Comment on The great all-seeing eye (an exercise) by Kelley

Hi Jo,

I didn’t take as much time as I wanted, and I apologize for that: deadlines currently rule my life. So if any comments aren’t clear it’s probably because of my moving fast. Just ask, okay? I do want the comments to be understandable even if you decide you don’t agree with them (smile), and I will be happy to clarify anything that needs it, no problem at all.

@Kelley — Thank you for your help :). I think I understand what you’re saying, but I’m fogged tonight so will have to look at it in depth in the next couple of days. I’m glad you like Gedrel – I’m having fun creating it.

@Dianne — Thank you for your help – and you’re right, I need to work on Ceer’s physical condition because it doesn’t work yet. I’m mixed on the profanity. I used the generic English f-word because I don’t have a Gedrelian word for it at this time, I just haven’t gotten that far. I’m not even really sure how they mate yet, actually :P.
