Art ~ When It Comes From All Sides

When it comes from all sides

Nicolo, I told you! I want that file on my desk
eight-o-clock tomorrow morning!

Now DO IT!

Six hours on… the phone vibrates. The text is angry.

NICOLO! What the hell are you playing at?

It’s our anniversary!!

I sat there like an idiot, didn’t have a thing to eat, and still had to pay the ruddy bill for the reservation!

God Almighty. Why did I ever marry you!

Now pick up this phone!!!

Nicolo, pressed the phone … silence.

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.

He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.

Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.

In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
