A freelance editor, I specialize in fiction but I've worked on non-fiction as well as web copy, corporate literature, and non-profit materials. I also edit and write for the group blog Magnificent Nose, which covers many topics but gravitates towards articles about writing and reading.
I'm also a lyricist; a guitarist for the band Baroque & Hungry; and I'm a touring cyclist.

Expression or word like “aura” that can be used to describe a “force” of death enveloping your body? Confirmed as off-topic, as per later discussion in the above thread. Again, I'm sorry you've been getting bounced around like this. In an attempt to figure this out publicly, I've opened this thread in meta on English Language & Usage. I'd like to know why it was closed there, it seems like it should be on-topic on Writers. |

Short exclamation to mean: “This is driving me crazy.” We've given it some time, and the meta response is showing this to be off-topic. Closing and migrating to English. Folks at ELU: If for some reason you don't want this, please tell us why so we can avoid sending these there in the future. |

What do you do if you enjoy writing, but have no ideas? Okay, with that in mind, the answers by Matt and Dale look to be particularly good. While this could be said to be a particularly chatty question, it's an important one for writers. |

Forming a tagline for customers, drivers and software Requests to rephrase a single sentence are off-topic on this site. Can anyone think of how this could be edited into something on-topic? |

Expression or word like “aura” that can be used to describe a “force” of death enveloping your body? @Soulz - Not your fault English is sending these here. I'm a little mystified as to why; single-word requests are clearly on-topic there. Sorry you're getting caught in the middle on this. |

Expression or word like “aura” that can be used to describe a “force” of death enveloping your body? Where the question originated has little to do with whether it's on-topic here. But you're right that we've been unclear about these questions in the past. I brought it up on meta because where questions like this belong is open to interpretation. I think we want a community ruling on this. |

Short exclamation to mean: “This is driving me crazy.” This feels off-topic to me, but the community's never discussed any questions like this that I can find. Meta question opened: Is this question asking for a single word on-topic? |

Best Grammar checking software @SF. - That answer is probably why this question is still open. |

Mashery vs. Apigee Welcome to Writers! Thanks for the answer, even though you can't cover both sides. If anyone can comment on the Apigee side of things, perhaps we can edit that information into this answer? |

What do you do if you enjoy writing, but have no ideas? What, exactly are you looking fo find out? How to keep writing when you're blocked? How to stay productive? Are you looking for exercises? Because the question here is a bit vague. There's some good advice in the answers, but is any of it what you're looking for? |
