i'm redoing my "about me" on my website and I'll admit i'm not the best writer, i need something that doesnt sound so amateurish
what i'm looking for is someone to help me take what i have so far and brush it up with some humor and it could use more colorful language (not "that" colorful :P)
pm me if you want to take a stab. |

Sorry. I'm not good at editing myself ;)
I am pretty decent at cracking myself up though. And heck, I married an English teacher for a reason ;)

| Bear is your guy, if he'd be willing. I'd volunteer but English is my second language and I don't have a first. |

He's a bit busy and distracted right now.
Send me a PM -- I have some experience at editing others' work. |

I'm happy to take a look.  GeneralE is a go-to guy as well. For the hat trick,  Bohemka edits for a living, I believe. |

I've also made a living as an advertising copywriter, so I'm good at pimping with words ;-) Also been a freelance editor on the side.
Just in case you need yet another person, though to be honest, in writing (as in cooking) too many cooks spoil the broth. Go with whoever's style best meshes with yours and stick with them, than taking bits and pieces from a handful of writers/editors. |

This is the funniest thing I've heard all day.
I would love to help but my grammar is atrocious.
I had the grammar Nazis after me more than once.
What a bunch of dicks. :P |
