Hi, I’m Amy O'Brien.
Paramedic by day, writer, proofreader, editor by night ... I’m the middle child amongst the heap of steps, halves and wholes that make up my family. The older I get the more I accept my middle child tendencies. I’m pretty lucky. I think I turned out pretty, and reasonably balanced. Laugh out loud. I did!
Lucky for me, I'm not 'alone' and am truly blessed with my beautiful partner Andy. He does everything he possibly could to make my world wonderful!
I love my alone time, don’t get me wrong, this is a positive where publishing is concerned, because I can take time to explore the intricacies of the written material before me.
When I was younger I kept a journal and wrote a lot of poetry. I was far more tortured and filled with angst back then. On the odd occasion I do find myself filled with enough emotion to stimulate some word sequences that mature into poetry, but tend more towards starting novels. When I finish one, you will be the first to know.
I am an avid reader myself. I have an exemplary knack for detecting and correcting errors in grammar and spelling, even on menus when dining out.
I'm working towards a diploma in proofreading and editing to give credence to my talent of perfecting the written word and creating the perfect structure. I find nothing more disappointing than grammar and spelling mistakes in the printed word. (You didn't find any did you?) laugh again!
Bottom line up front ... or at the end ... I love correctly worded sentences.
