Hi, Bill!  I've heard the proofreader course is hard and
meticulous, but most things don't come easy.  I think a lot of
learning anything isn't even being smart, but being persistent
and realizing you are the person involved.  What you are
learning is a skill--not a living, thinking being.  Hey, I'd
appreciate all the prayers I can get!  I will be doing braille
transcription, word processing, creative writing--whatever
anyone wants done.  I'm sure your teacher was good, but there
are many good braille readers who don't know all the fine rules
of braille.  I know I don't, but I can recognize errors when I
see them.  Playing with words and writing are things I like to
do, so I'll give it a shot.  In the meantime, should something
come up I'll quit.  I think with computer braille though there
probably needs to be more proofreaders.  Running braille through
a translator isn't the hard part.  Making sure that braille
looks nice and neat is the toughie!  We have an organization
here that can do braille, and it is awful!  Bill, sighted people
would pay for print newsletters or even take them free if they
came out the way these guys do their braille--no end-of-line
hyphenation, no page numbers, no paragraphs!  They just run it
through the translator and send it out!
Anyway, we'll both hang in there and pray for each other.  How's
that?  I don't think I could do telemarketing, so I admire your
sticktuitiveness.  Bye for now.  Linda
