This is my Summer Blog, it is active from May 01 - September 30, and will update Tuesdays and Thursdays. A blog about writing, breaking into the publishing arena, my experiences, Warhammer 40k, Warmachine, and whatever else comes to mind.

Kibin and my return from hiatus.
Picture unrelated. So, internet, do I get a big hug back from hiatus? No? No one? Okay, fine, then I'll just tell you about something cool I've discovered recently.
Ever wanted an extra pair of eyes on your writing? Like maybe, a free peer editing service? Which guarantees turn-around times? Where you can rate the reviewer, or pay to choose which reviewer you use? Sure you have, that's why Kibin exists.
Check this out: http://www.slideshare.net/500startups/kibin
So, because I really love this idea, I've put a lot of time into raising my Kibin level. I'm not sure it'll be worth it, but I figure the ability to list editing experience on my resume makes up for it. With Kibin, you are essentially a volunteer freelance editore, with the possibility of paid gigs down the road, and right now in my life, that works for me. So I'm almost level three, which I got to by reviewing a bunch of things, and the experience has been really cool. I've reviewed the work of fellow university students, of master's students, or individuals who speak English as a second languages, of a Proffesor in Linguistics, and quite a few works of fiction, and even one poem! Its been very interesting.
Anyways, check it out, it's a growing site but already very cool, and I expect it to jump in growth when summer ends. Link here, for people to lazy to type Kibin into Google: https://kibin.com/

Thanks for the suggestion! I just tried it for my first term paper, saved me so much time and let me get an extra opinion without heckling my reluctant friends, I think they're getting a little sick of reading my stuff... Anyway, Thank you!
