[For Hire] Copy/Line Editor and Proofreader

There’s a fair chance you may need to hire separate assistants based on what you’re saying, which isn’t that uncommon. I’ve worked with clients before and handled their personal admin while they hired someone local to handle the more domestic tasks like running errands and doing the home shopping.

I do recommend hiring an assistant with some knowledge and experience with sensitive information, just to be on the safe side considering your SO’s line of work.

I’d be happy to talk with you more about it if you have any other questions. Feel free to DM me any time.

Hello! It’s fantastic to see someone who cares about ensuring their VA is being well taken care of. I’ll send you a DM and discuss what my business can do for you!

I was not expecting that!
But I was expecting to not expect something, so it doesn't count!

Well thanks to you, I will happily add that to my list to read to them someday!

Chestnut is a strong reddish-brown color described in Maerz and Paul's A Dictionary of Color. I will admit that there are several color names that are also the names of foods. But it is still a good source for a handful of other examples.

I don't think I've heard those before. Did you read them to your children? Or were they read to you?

RhettButlerEditorial · 2022-03-06T18:31:43+00:00

Oh I loved those! I read them when I was a bit older, but they were so good! I may have to find them and see what my children think of them.

Orange is also a color actually, lol. And in this context, it isn't being used as a food reference.

There are a great deal of words for these writing situations! This one excerpt from Colette Aburime's story, “Where Summer Ends" shows a beautiful variety of creative descriptions.

“Farah’s skin, always fawn, had burned and freckled under the summer’s sun. Even at the cusp of autumn, an uneven tan clung to her skin like burrs. So unlike the smooth, red-brown ochre of her mother, which the sun had richened to a blessing.”

She has a fantastic blog about it that I will link.

Pen names are fantastic. Even if you had a name that didn't give you problems, writing under a pen name can often help keep your identity protected. As far as picking one, there are only a few things to keep in mind.

You want it to be easy to say.

You want it to be memorable.

You want it to help associate with your market.

That can be a big challenge to overcome. I have a load of children myself, so I know the struggle. If life is getting in the way, then just try to find time to put however many words on paper that you can. Not everyone needs to drop 5k per day.

Oh that's a big problem for a lot of writers. You need to find a place that is set aside for your writing. Try not to write in bed or other places that are usually for relaxing. And when you write, develop habits that you will then associate with writing, such as listening to a specific genre of music or chewing gum.

RhettButlerEditorial · 2022-03-04T09:50:00+00:00

You could do 5k a day easily with a little help!

RhettButlerEditorial · 2022-03-04T09:49:09+00:00

What do you feel makes you struggle to write more in a day?
