Power is my friend.
I used to do bar reviews which was great except that I was paid so little that I'd spend all my earnings on the friggin' drink. So I stopped. But now my editor is handling reviews for eight different cities and asked for my help.
Friends, I have found my calling.
I loves being the boss! I may not be good at the important things like math or understanding political infastructures (infostructures? Gah!), but snarking out in 150 words or less? Please, I'm queen. Plus editing takes a fraction of the time it took to write an original. I'm seriously hoping that this become a full-ish time gig because that, as they say, would be SWEET.

So you like editing, huh? Good to know someone does; I've always hated it. Maybe that's why my attempts to become a writer have always failed...
Way to go!! Let me know if you need more writers, my dear!
BTW infrastructure
This is very cool, so you can buy more drinks now?
Wow. I envy you. I've always wanted to be an editor. I practically read the newspaper with red pen in hand. Hell, I even edit what people SAY, let alone what they WRITE. Good luck to you! (If you know of any editorial concerns who do outsourcing, let me know!)
Hey ktbuffy! Right now they have me editing reviews from Boston and Atlanta, but if I start working on NYC stuff I'll certainly let you know. Thanks for the offer of help!
