I was going over Tristan's new post and saw a new addition to his Fairy tales: BlogPest: Editor and Errorfinder. Hmmm intriguing title. So I clicked the link and found myself in this blog that scared me and made me panic.The blogger goes over other blogs and do some little tweaking on their posts. Bloggers fear? I don't know about you but its my fear because I know for a fact that my blogs loaded with grammatical errors, wrong use of punctuations and misspelled words. Most are, innocent mistakes (is there such a word?), not-really-sure-what-the-right-word-is (so i do this dash dash thingy as if its some kind of style), didn't have any idea on the correct usage of past/present crap (I just hope that no one would notice) or load up on words that's not really needed in the hope that the reader would get confused and eventually forget that my grammar was wrong (coz they're now confused trying to understand what I was trying to convey.) Well ok I know im overreacting why the hell would he check my blog? My split personality kicks in and says, "hell, yeah bring it on!!" it'll be fun to have somebody look over your blog and do some grammar corrections. Wouldn't that be nice? Someone to edit your stuff. For free. Half shivers. "Oh God whats he gonna say?" Could my lame emotional threshold take it? Would I cry buckets and be depressed for like... uhmm a month? Oh gawd oh gawD! (Biting nails)
P.S. It took me half the afternoon to go over this post. I even edited my older posts. Im pretty sure its still loaded with grammatical errors.
Wanted: someone to proofread my posts. Someone who wouldn't mind doing it with the goodness of their hearts (in other words for free) is a must!

hehehehe Fuck! He trashes not just blogs but interviews as well...Oh well, some people are good editors but not good writers.
So what if we have grammar errors? We're not paid to blog and we're not perfect(or trying to be perfect).
No need to sweat emo bitch cause we have our own style and we can convey our thoughts through writing..di nga lang perfect...so what? that's the beauty of it!
Exactly my sentiments! I think I'm inviting him (?) to edit my blogs by following him publicly... I always welcome freebies, even if they are online editors! Fingers crossed. *shivers*
