In Celebration of National Grammar Day ...















So it's official: I'm a freelance editor.

Brown Books called me the other day with a job: a cookbook. Now that things are picking up, they're outsourcing more material. Good news for me! The first thing I did? Bought a red pen.

When it came time to write the invoice, I was at a loss. Do I keep it simple? Make it decorative? That's more my personality. I Googled freelance invoices and stuck with something pretty basic. To be honest, it felt weird demanding payment like that ... on paper ... almost self-indulgent. I'll need to get over that.

In ever cooler news, yesterday was National Grammar Day! I'd love to know how others celebrated. I visited grammar blogs ... nerd alert! For your enjoyment, I'm including some of my favorite PDBG (public displays of bad grammar).
