Due to the tracyhide's blog entry on TOPSHELF

http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog-entry/3049/what-proof-reading-and-edi...

and my own poor skills. I will be delaying the release of further chapters of my series of FEMELLA AILUROS ARMATURA until totally typed out and edited by both myself and at least one other. Thank you and very sorry about the delay that will be happening.

Tracy is not to be harmed for this. But her article brings it all together for myself. It is possibly the only reason on why my second chapter has garnered no comment good or bad. Bob and Erin if I receive word that anything has happened to her I will hold you personally responsible.

I am always around.

And as the famous line goes: I'LL BE BACK.

Proofing/Editing

I agree to a great extent with what Tracy says and she has nothing to fear from me with her comment. I started Zapped! without having anyone else edit it and it clearly shows the need for proofing and editing. I've gotten better with my writing (when I'm able to write) but I still have others look my work over and correct the errors I've missed and make suggestions to improve the story.

dvh,

you have an intreguing story started but it is hard to follow at times due to the proofing flaws.

A good proofer will get the distracting technical mistakes out of the way and let the story shine through.

I look forward to your new and improved version. Don't feel bad, like the Great and Powerful Oz, I mean the talented Bob Arnold, my first efforts were flawed. Let's be honest, technically I sucked!

Good luck.
