on 2016-07-11 04:31 pm (UTC)I also need to spend time today to beta a story I was asked to look at. I agreed in a moment of high energy--I usually try to accommodate people who need betas but this is over twenty thousand words so it's really going to take some time and the energy seems to be fading as the story sits here before me ;)

on 2016-07-12 04:53 pm (UTC)A somewhat useless day
on 2016-07-11 05:45 pm (UTC)Also, I've just got back the next chapter of the Enterprise story from a very nice, helpful American lady who's offered to beta it. As a rule, I'm pathetically grateful when someone dares to brave my creative grammar. Still, when an eager and helpful beta sends back some stuff with grammatical, stylistical and God knows what other errors highlighted in different colours, I'm seriously tempted to give up. It seems I'll never figure out what makes the dratted English language tick. *is depressed*

on 2016-07-12 10:04 am (UTC)And i do understand about the feeling of seeing all the corrections... I consider my English good (have an honours degree in it) but the number of typos/spelling mistakes/grammar glitches/just plain stuff ups (and what a beta once called "impressionistic punctuation"...sometimes makes me wonder where my connection with the language went, if I ever had one...

on 2016-07-11 11:46 pm (UTC)I got a good amount of time in working on the story. One full hour, plus bits and more bits throughout the day.
One baby robin has flown the coop. One left. I predict tomorrow will be the day. It had better launch early morning, because tomorrow promises to be very hot.
