I can have fic?

Now that the worky bit is done, I've got some stuff hanging out in the notebook(s) that I'm planning to type up.

Hopefully it'll kick the muse's butt awake. *grumbles*

The one thing I noticed about my side job is that editing is really *not* conducive to writing. Especially with certain stories. Good Lord. It boggles me that this/these were submitted for eventual publication. I've seen better grammar skills in fanfic. Not to be dissin' fanfics, mind you. Just saying that one would think a 'professional author', one who has published before, would have more skill than that. At least I feel like I'm earning my pay. ;p

After spending days slogging through such stuff, it leaves me with no desire to want to do anything remotely associated with stories. Either reading or writing it. (hello tv veg time!) But now that they're sent off to my boss, hopefully I can do something worthwhile fic wise. I've been meaning to get this backlog typed up anyway...

I sometimes think it would be nice to have a paying job that involved writing and editing, but then I think, that would make it just work and would mean I burnt out on it and didn't want to do my own stuff.

Obviously the ideal is if someone would pay me to write my own stuff all day, but that ain't gonna happen! :D

True. But it's extra funds so I'm only going to complain but so much. :) Besides, it's also entirely possible that since I'm just starting out with this editing business that I'm purposely being sent junk things that need work. I would imagine that most publishing companies want some kind of assurance that their copy editors have a clue of what they're doing before they get sent the 'good stuff'.

I'd love for someone to pay me to write my own stuff too. Sadly, I haven't won that stinkin' lottery yet. Then I could afford to pay myself. Hee!
