The Guardian’s Ten Rules […]

From Christine over at 80,000 Words, who pointed out to me that I already posted a link to this video, although I never actually watched it. I so want that dog to bonk that guy on the head!
I’ve been a bit absent from blogland this week because I have a deadline this Sunday. I have to edit a 400-page book in 10 days on top of my regular routine of taking care of two kids and doing 5000 loads of laundry every week. Because I haven’t done much copyediting this past year, […]
