This Is a Part-Time Endeavor For Now!
I'm not able to spend full time doing this, so I'm just taking my time and relearning a lot of things I've forgotten over the years. I graduated from high school in 1965; my favorite subjects included English and Creative Writing. I was in the Navy for 4 years and when I got out in 1969 I went to college for 2 years. I hired on with the Federal Government in 1971, and spent the next 9 years writing technical documents for my organization. I finally was able to return to college and got my MS with more English and Creative Writing minors. I spent the next 20 years writing more technical documents, and since retiring in 2000 have been working as a contractor -- for the government -- writing MORE technical documents! I feel that I've fallen into some bad habits along the way, so the ProofReadAnywhere study is reintroducing me to many of the things I've forgotten. Your lessons are very good, but I believe the presenter goes through the material a little fast and perhaps a little too high level. I found, during the exam, that it was difficult to recall the rules or CMOS references that applied in some cases, and in others I just couldn't determine what the problem was. So I'm still learning and trying to improve my base skills once again, which I hope will begin revealing themselves in short order. I may take several more weeks or even a couple months to complete this program. As I said before, I'm a full-time cyber security consultant and proof reading as a small business is for a future -- but not too far in the future -- endeavor once I retire once more.

Hi, Michael! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Learning a new skill is a process, and we all have different areas we need to master. You have lifetime access to the course, so you can take as long as you need to absorb the material.
