About

My talents lie in creative and technical writing and editing. I believe that any job worth doing is worth doing well. It's a cliché, I know, but it's a good one.

I am a retired mother with three grown children. I was married for 22 years and have been divorced for 28 years. I had trivial background jobs that enabled me to gain knowledge and experience that led to better jobs, such as secretary, word processor, and technical writer and editor. I also graduated from high school with honors and from college with honors and a two-year degree. I had a strict father who wouldn't let me accept my 4-year college scholarship so I had to make it on my own.
I have very high personal, spiritual, and moral values and have always been honest to a fault.
I am an avid reader and always have been. The genres I read are pretty eclectic. I watch a variety of movies and TV programs. I recently discovered Korean programs on Netflix and they have become a favorite of mine, along with Marvel movies, Outlander, Doc Martin, the Good Doctor, and many others. I even enjoy Star Wars now.
I enjoy playing Animal Crossing and am developing a spreadsheet to help me keep track of my three characters. I hope to add more soon. I also enjoy playing Pogo games but haven't had much time to indulge lately.

Work Terms

Since I am retired, I'm pretty much open when it comes to hours. However, I would prefer 10 am to 5 pm Central Time. I still have not decided on payment terms yet so I'll get back with you soon. I have the WhatsApp loaded but am not totally familiar with it yet.
One thing you should know is that I am not particularly computer savvy. I prefer Microsoft Word as my writing and editing program and I do know how to create spreadsheets in Excel. There are a few other programs I have used in the past so just let me know what you need.
