During my PR career I had to write, but I also edited a magazine and other people's work and I'll tell you, it was way more fun (and sometimes more challenging, too) to edit someone else or even my own work. Especially when it was long (which was quite often! I am very good at cutting!). So I wish you the best of luck -- it seems like you are doing all the right things and starting first from a business sense. Probably the best place for a perfectionist to begin (and mind always!).Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-68478130219315307812013-11-04T22:23:12.832-05:002013-11-04T22:23:12.832-05:00Thank you, Red.
