the writing life is a buffet, and EDITOR FOR HIRE

I am often asked about my writing technique. I have to confess it is more of a buffet than a carefully prepared dinner. I will leap into one project (maybe a mystery novel) write for as long as I can, then sign off, and switch to a magazine piece, and then, after that, try an essay on my life and times, to be bronzed for my memoirs. No doubt the world is waiting with bated breath for said memoirs.

I don’t have a disciplined way of working. I always loved Auntie Mame’s quote: “Life is a banquet! And most poor suckers are starving to death!” That’s how I write, running from treat to treat, and often finally settling on one subject I will finish off to the last bite.
I realize that not everybody works this way. But it is what works for me.
I have done some editing in my time, and find it interesting to take a break from my own work. Time to put out a signboard and say, EDITOR FOR HIRE! Fun for me. Sometimes lucrative. And useful for those who need some help with their manuscript.
As soon as I get my email fixed, you can contact me about this.
Onward!
