Birthday Salute To My Editors!

Birthday Salute To My Editors!
 
My two trusty editors, Rebecca Wilson and Susaan Straus (yes, the two a’s in Susaan are not a typo), keep my writing on the rails. They’re celebrating birthdays this month and this is a chance for me to wrap a thank you note in a bow and send it to them electronically.
 
For me writing is a creative endeavor, a discipline, and usually fun. The drafts I send my editors are met with objectivity and occasional humor.
 
The admonitions of  “What’s the focus here?” or “Your tenses aren’t consistent,” or  “You need a verb in there somewhere!” or “Way too long and convoluted,” help me become a better writer. I still manage to include typos and assorted gaffes when I publish without “vetting” the work with one or the other of the editors.
 
And they know when to throw a bouquet."Love the ending!,” or, “I especially loved those two turns of phrase!” happen frequently.
 
Rebecca Wilson is an interior designer who specializes in redecorating and space planning. Susaan Straus is a savvy business consultant who specializes in executive coaching, organizational development, and interactive large group programs. They probably won't offer to edit your work but if you need the services they provide, I can just about guarantee you'll be pleased with their input.
 
Thank you Rebecca and Susaan for taking the time to help shape my stories. And Happy Birthdays!!
