We’ve spent the last weekend putting together my new hat- my copyediting and proofreading hat. It is now showing its face and fine design to the world at www.original-orange.com. So thanks to my wonderful husband for working so hard to achieve the clever, clean look.
I’ve been proofreading and copyediting for a while now, working from home checking out websites and article copy for my husband’s clients and learning about SEO from him, in between other projects. I’ve also been collaborating with him and others on a major new travel website to be launched in May, full of wonderful writing on all sorts of places that I’d love to visit. I’ll post a link here, as soon as it is ready to launch.
Now I’ve decided to concentrate on the proofreading and copyediting and develop it as my work from home. I need to kick start my way into earning an income and this seems to be the best possible way. I enjoy doing it, I can work from home in the mornings and evenings, without having to commute long distances and worry about childcare.
I’ve left behind the teaching hat, which I found far too stressful to wear for long periods of time, though I’ll happily go and help out at the children’s school with crafts on occasion. My grand career culminating in the Oscars turned out to be a non-starter, though I can’t pretend to be devastated, so Original Orange, my writing, copyediting and proofreading persona, is definitely the way forward.
I'm now about to set off on a voyage of discovery in the ways of networking on the internet, but where better to start than at home on my blog:
Please could all my blog friends help me spread the word about my services to anyone you know who might be interested. I mainly work by email, so can work for clients anywhere in the world, such are the joys of the net and a 24 hour connection.
Keep fingers crossed for me too!
