her head is in a spin
she's not sure who she am
her fingers leave no prints
her life's work is a sham
My motto as an editor: Authors are the authority on their work. I'm a full-service editor. For a reasonable fee, I'm your writing coach from the first suggested revision to the correction of the final typo.
I like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat's this about?
ReplyDeleteI hope this isn't autobiographical. Because I don't think you, or anyone, could or should consider their life's work a "sham." How could you go through life Bernie Madoffing yourself? Not all self-doubting thoughts deserve credence, most of them can be shrugged off.
