I have started to write up about Fred's stroke. It is flowing quite well. I am only doing the intro at the moment but the time feels right.

Would anybody like to proof read for me? There are only abut 1500 words at the moment.

Isn't it typical. You get persuaded to do something and the minute you need help........

But it is a big job just before Christmas. Sharon - if nobody with any experience takes it on then pm me after the holiday.

Well done for starting Sharron. I was only saying to someone yesterday about your stories of Fred's escapades, did your ears burn?

I am sure you will find help with the proof reading, everyone will want a first read lol

Sharron .................

we're going away in 2 days and won't be back until early January, otherwise I would say send it to me. I'd be very happy to do it.


I worked for many years as a proof reader and editor :-)


BUT you'd have to wait until the first week in January :-(

It's still not quite 3.000 words. Can't think it would take long.

Really I just want a bit of feedback at the moment.

Never officially been a proof reader - but proof read all the stuff we used for courses when I worked for a department training care workers.

Sharron If you want to send it to me I will read it for you if you just want an opinion. I have done some proof reading but I think what you want at the moment is somebody to see if you are on the right track. If you want me to read it I will pm you my email address.

Sharron did you get my reply after reading the first part? You didn't reply so I am wondering if you got it.
