I have to admit, though, there have been assignments where the editor was vague about specifics and asked me to “send everything” and that picked out bits.

The result, needless to say, was AWFUL. 485 words out of 1600, with no transitions.

Paid for only 485.

Learned from that one. Won’t make that mistake again! 😉

Way to practice what you preach. ;] You’re an inspiration, dear! Keep up the good work.
