I finally finished my proofreading class! FREEDOM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seriously\u2026this one was a lot of work. SO MANY readings. SO MANY assignments. Then\u2026the dreaded final exam: a 30-question multiple choice quiz & then we had to edit\/proofread a 3-page Word doc article. I took the entire three hours allotted to make sure I did as well as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though all of our instruction has been geared toward non-fiction, I really enjoyed it! I actually like the process of fine-tuning. And it doesn\u2019t tax my brain the same way revising fiction does. I plan to add it as an option on my freelance site (which I still need to finish!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thing that sucks? Looking around for freelance gigs for proofreading\/copyediting\/copywriting and so many of them including AI in some form. So\u2026potentially not great for my prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I actually did a lot of work for quite a few years writing various types of copy for small indie businesses and artisans. Crafters, creators etc. Freelancing fits well into my schedule, so I do hope there are people out there looking to hire real writers and not just use AI. We\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that my class is over and the next one doesn\u2019t start for a month, I have time to write! Back to the folk horror novella! I\u2019ve been itching to dive in again. I really want to take advantage of this school break and make a big dent in it. It’s been a bit of a break, so I need to read over my old notes and refresh my memory of new brainstorms\/work them into my outline. Putting all the puzzle pieces together. I love this part!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also have new approach I\u2019ve been thinking about for all of my social media\/marketing\/Patreon posts. I need to get it all in line and then get back to regular posts. I think I was spreading myself too thin with too many tangents, which isn\u2019t sustainable. I want to make it fun for those of you reading, and something I\u2019m excited to do. I want to make it worth it for those of you who continue to support me. I\u2019ll keep you updated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
