Passionate Reader - Made more difficult by my job

Post by lisamiller63640 »

Greetings, Everyone.

Yes, it's true - being an editor can kill one's love of reading, but after years of working in the publishing field, I've found a middle ground. Admittedly I still cringe when happening upon that misspelled word, or have to fight the urge to scream when redundancy of mundane clips and phrases take the joy out of what may have been a decent story had the author (and their editor) cut out a zillion and a half "he laughed" phrases.

Looking forward to getting started with this new adventure!
