First Day of Class

     In our first day of class we learned about what it is an editor does and how difficult it actually can be. In our editing test I missed a lot of mistakes that easily should have been corrected. Also, we learned that editors today, despite the terrible economy and job market, are still in very high demand. I am interested to find out in the coming days how we will go about learning editing and how we will practice it throughout the winter term.
     I am not sure exactly how I feel about editing as a profession or whether or not it is for me. I wanted to take this class in order to expand upon my writing abilities and to learn more about the editing altogether. Although different from my normal interests, I want to work hard in order to learn everything about editing that I can in such a short period of time.
