I confess to being a procrastinator, but when it comes to proofreading and I'm reading something I like, I'm absorbed in reading the book, but at the same time, I want to be extremely meticulous so the submitter will be happy and I'll be happy. I want everything to be readable and look good. regards, Kim. _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of gwen tweedy Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 6:04 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Found this interesting Yes in my own way, I am extremely picky, I have some simple ways I was taught, and some things I do or not do to save trouble to get a good proof up but yet not make my scanner have to wait any longer than I need to. I tend to want to get things done off of my plate so to speak. If I have something I need to do I just do it, even when I was small I didn't want to spoil my weekend with home work hanging over my head, wanted to get it taken care of. That is my only thing I need to be careful of, I'll still over do trying to get it done. Thanks for your confidence, there were times I felt so very much alone.

I think you should be glad because you gave it a go and found your métier as a proofreader. I'm sure fellow list members route for you and your endeavors, given that at one time they were where you were. Congratulations on your proofreading. Are you extremely picky? If so, then I bet you're a bang-up proofreader and I hope to do as well though I'm nowhere near your number of proofreads.

I am glad instead of struggling in what I could not do well, I found something I could do. not bad for one who gave up and quit.
