Thank you for noticing my work and sharing it with your readers. If you would like to have a quick critique by someone who knows a little bit — by far not everything — send me a couple of paragraphs for an editorial makeover. :)

Hey Liz,
Thanks for stopping by — I appreciate everyone who does.
I just might pick you up on that offer, actually! I find that if I’m allowed free rein I’m far too verbose.
Luckily, I’m *typing* most of the time, rather than writing … so my writing is actually *legible*.
[Overheard at the nursing station last week] “You know, you write the *longest* notes … and when I can *read *them, they’re really good …!”
Cheers
