"I can write better than this!"

[redbird]

In fact, I am writing better than this. "This" being the latest editing project, a novel that seems to be part family stuff, part spy thriller. I'm fixing the grammar and spelling--everything from "plague" for "plaque" to Jesse Owens and the Kosciusko River. (I knew he had that wrong because we have a bridge by that name.)

Not only is this confidence-building, but it's different enough from what I'm working on to not contaminate it.
