Yes, much more, in fact, than a theme to explore, but on that note: I was encouraging Gabe to write more on the subject. How can we know what is happening if nobody tells us? How many of you knew of this situation before reading the piece? Write-on Gabe! You did a great job and I wish you to write more on this subject if it does not pain you too much. Hope the person in the accident is all right. ++Naiilo

Thanks. Thanks for editing all of the stories we read, and the ones we don't. You guys are important to the writing process. Happy holidays. ++Naiilo P.S. You non-editors out there, yeah -- you -- you know who you are... you should thank these guys too because without them those weekly chapters might be bi-weekly chapters, or littered with rubbish and misspellings.

First, I'd like to wish you all a very politically correct Happy Holidays. Second, I'd like to thank you for your writings and thoughts. They are so interesting to read. While I do not know you all personally, one can gain so much information about another through their writings. Thank you. To all of you out there who haven't thanked your favorite authors, feel free to thanks them here. ++Naiilo, the college student that can't communicate nice things for beans.

Gabe, I read it. Your story contains some powerful themes and images. Perhaps you should explore this more? +Naiilo

I'm not an 'editor', but as far as clarity is concerned your sentence is fine. It is not a sentence that can be used outside of an appropriate context, but the word 'one' in the sentence refrences back to the last noun, 'game', making the sentence clear. You are writing for an english-speaking audience, most of whom will know the meaning of the sentence and that 'one' refers to the number of games you are ahead. I think the problem with adjusting a sentence like this is that you have to view it in context. If the sentence is isolated it is not clear on any level. -Naiilo PS- I think that my message is clear, but if it isn't I'm sure there is someone that can figure it out, right?

Heh, right now I'm in trouble with my guy... so I'm living with Snoopy right now (as in: in the dog-house). I hope that maybe going to carmina tonight helped with it all. Carmina Burana is wonderful live if you've never heard it live. -Naiilo the scariest thing is the 10 page feature i have to write by monday... on parenting... dun-dun dun-dun duhhhhnnnnn. P.S.- thanks for the tips.

It is dead week and finals week here at uni. Not the most fun. Any tips for keeping stress down other than drinking, drugs, meditation, and sleep? -Naiilo

This picture is very reminiscent of Rocky. That's what I thought of when I first saw it. Rocky Horror or Rocky Balboa? -Naiilo

Well, I don't necessarily want to edit professionally, but I do perform a lot of editing here at uni for my fellow students. Most of what I do is content and style editing. For proofing, I expect my peers to be apt enough to proof their own work unless they ask me to. I'm damned picky, especially with diction and syntax. Because of the editing I've done for others, my own writing has improved greatly. Right now I am working on my creative skills when I have the time. Probably gonna work on my current project tonight some. -Naiilo

1) Forgot about it... People I meet online are like spirits to me, they do not have a form to remember. 2) I am off again soon from school. I hope I will be able to then. I wanted to give you something for Halloween, but I was unable to. -Naiilo

Referring to the photos or the hot guy who originally made the post? :) Considering the topic of this thread, and the fact that I have never seen RM before, the answer to your question should be obvious. Seeing as your dirty mind will not make the logic jump without some sort of jack-off fantasy involved I will be more frank. I believe that RM's photography, located at http://www.lonelyocean.co.uk/photography.htm looks good; as in his photographs are visually pleasing, in my amateur opinion composed well, and given the opportunity to encourage him, I did. If this response is not enough to stray you from such thoughts as those displayed above, please let me know and I will clarify further. -Naiilo

These responses are interteresting to read. Proofing is an important part of the writing process, but I have never considered it part of editing. Editing, in my view, focuses on content and style. very interesting... -N

Looks good. -Naiilo

My dad works as a broker for a large truking company and keeps trying to get me to be a dispatcher for some place here in town. I bet I know which books you are talking about. Ugh, too many codes, no? -N

:oops: Thanks! :D I agree, Double-Plus Good! -Naiilo
