About Me

I didn't have the guts to stick with reporting. On top of that, I hate confrontation. So I stuck with copyediting. You might think my job isn't very grown-up, but that's because you don't have the balls to work nights, weekends, holidays and the days of important events (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays) to do what you love.

I'm obsessive-compulsive (it runs in the family). I'm neurotic (I think I hide it very well, but now that I mention it, you probably don't think so ... ). I'm stubborn (ask my husband). I'm moody, and you have to feed me at regular intervals to keep the beast down. And, boy, I am sometimes a plain ol' bitch. But I can be a good listener (I think) and come through when it counts.
