And now a bit of fun
I just had the following exchange from the e-book writer I've been copy-editing for:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author - Excitement! "Level Up Your Love Life" is fresh back from my awesome copy editor. Get ready, gents. I know where the geeky ladies are hiding.
Me - *blushyface*
Author - The difference between "violet" and "violent" is the difference between looking like you fell on a keyboard while drunk and looking like a professinal writer. Editors deserve more love.
Me - "professional" ;p~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The reference is to the first book I worked over for her - a drinks book in which one recipe called for "candied violent leaves")
