As both a proofreader and line-editor, she was incredibly thorough and caught numerous mistakes that I would have easily overlooked. Her attention to detail truly elevated my work. Not only was she professional, but she also brought a lot of positivity to the process. Her kind remarks and constructive suggestions made working together a really wonderful experience. If you're looking for someone to enhance your writing, Lisa is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her services! — Michelle Spiva, author of Music City Musings https://lisabubert.com/whoops daily 0.75 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050e770d8a2a857ff6489b9/1615914874653-5UOFECTNZE4GO4ZQTRBD/1170775_10200223681304552_138340499_n.jpg Whoops It seems you’ve found the picture of six year-old me and my beloved Suzuki toy four-wheeler. God, I loved that four-wheeler. My grandfather would charge it all morning from 5am until after breakfast so I could ride it all morning along until it eventually whined itself into a cold, battery-drained death around noon. And look! There’s even my lucky rubber boots. One time, I got myself stuck so deep in mud I had to crawl my way out of the boots to solid ground and run home to my grandmother in nothing but mud-encrusted socks (the kind with the lace at the ankle.) I still remember watching her lay down some 2x4s to crawl out over the muddy ditch and retrieve those rubber boots. Anyway, something’s broken with this link.
