I got my first proof accepted!Awesome and congratulations Doug, and glad i had a short one to cut your teeth on. Smile. That great feeling never goes away, smile, at least for me it hasn't. But congratulations and welcome to the world of proofreading. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Maples To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 1:26 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I got my first proof accepted! As a newbie, it was really nice to get the e-mail saying that the book I had proofed, Rhinoceros (Nature's Children) by Merebeth Switzer, had been accepted. The book was set aside for me by Shelley as a good starter book. It was a nice one to cut my teeth on and I will stay with the shorter ones until I get a little better. Thanks to all for your help. By the way, I use Dragon naturally speaking for all of my work, also. As a quadriplegic, it is the only thing that allows me to do this. -- Doug
