It was busy, busy here to round out the summer! Last week, I turned in my edits on the novel I’ve been proofreading for a client. It’s pretty exciting—she has just a few minor details to address, then she’s ready to look for an agent. I’m happily assisting with the process—I would love to see a book that I edited get published, plus I feel like it’s good practice for whenever I complete my novel and am ready to start the publication process. In other news, last week, I also finished up two proofing days at TQ on the Ski & Ride issue. It’s a fun magazine with lots of great articles and photos to get you geared up for ski season in the Sierra. I also just got out my monthly newsletter for the timeshare company that I do work for, and have been helping the owner with his website postings.
I’ve got a little bit of downtime before I need to start focusing on my articles for the Winter issue of TQ, which is good timing because the weather is getting cool and all I want to do is hike in the mountains, drink pumpkin lattes and watch the aspens change colors. And on that note, off to the coffee shop!
