Redrafting

So I’m still here, even if I am knackered from working late yesterday, and I’m preety nervous about some of my web designs that I’m supposed to be churning out. I can’t churn! It’s like Grolsch, these things take time!

Today I’m experiencing the joys of being a critic. People send me stuff and expect me to publish it, hah! I like to publish copy that has paragraphs and delineated sentences in it, preferably with some recognisable syntax!

So I’m playing my editor card and entirely redrafting the worst articles; I wonder how the original author will feel after I’ve butchered their work? And who am I to judge? I start new sentences with prepositions and have to have dictionary.com open at all times.

I also find Google to be of great help, did you know that if you type define: query it brings up definitions for you? Such a blessing, Google is.
