This post comes straight from my own personal reading experiences. These words may be pronounced the same, but they certainly have different meanings.
The waist is the narrowing of the body between the hips and the ribs.
Waste could mean: 1) to use or expend (something) needlessly, 2) to lose energy, strength, or vitality (usually with away), 3) an act or instance of wasting, and 4) an uncultivated, uninhabited, or devastated area.
There is nothing like curling up with a good book on a rainy day.
All winter long I heard about kids having “snow days” at school. I have only lived in sunshine states (California, Florida and Arizona) so the idea of a “snow day” has never made sense to me. I can only recall school ever being cancelled once, when I was in college, due to a hurricane warning.
Last night it started to rain. And rain. And rain some more. This morning there was an email sent out saying schools were cancelled and to stay off the roads. It’s just a little rain, right? Wrong. Here is a quick look at the local freeways.
And now you understand why I’m not grocery shopping, going to the gym or doing any of those other things I should be doing. Instead I’m home reading. And loving it.
“I was very excited when I published my first book in the summer of 2013, until I realized that the editor I hired didn’t do the job that I paid her for. Then I hired Nicole, who fixed all of the grammatical issues, pointed out continuity problems and helped me turn my book into something that I am proud to say I have written. Nicole has great attention to detail and she blows my mind when she catches things that contradict what I wrote earlier in a story. I love that she keeps me in the loop throughout the editing process, so I always know what is going on with my manuscript. She is very personable and easy to work with. I look forward to working with Nicole in the future and I can’t recommend her enough to other authors that I come in contact with!”

Today Proof Before You Publish turns 1!
When I started this adventure a year ago I had no idea what was in store for me. It’s been such a great first year and I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing authors. Here’s to hoping the next year is just as wonderful and thank you to everyone who has helped make Proof Before You Publish successful.
A cord can be many things. It can be a string or rope, an electrical cable, or a measure of wood equal to 128 cubic feet. It can also be a ribbed fabric (like corduroy), or one of several types of cords found within the bodies of animals (the spinal cord, the umbilical cord, and the vocal cords).
A chord is typically a musical term denoting any combination of two or more pitches played at the same time. It can sometimes refer to an emotion as well.
