I have a need to hire a writer. I aim to be bonded officially to my wife as soon as I have the appropriate vows written, but words are not my area of expertise. I therefore ask this community to help me compose my bond vows. I will compensate you for your contribution, should I judge your writing worthy of my use.

[ ....... ]

I also have need of coin. I have the money that came with me through the mirror, but the currency here is not the same. For now, I can pay you in silver or gold. If that is unacceptable, then as soon as someone can point me to a means of income then I will pay you in the local tender.

That is all.

yeah it exists. thats about all there is to it.

i dunno how to tell you this, but if she married you then she probably knows what to expect already

[disasterstraight]

I suppose she does. Though in all truth we have not been married long, even though we were promised to each other as children.

i mean do what you want. i just know if i came out with some professionally written flowery junk my girlfriend would just laugh at me.

you think shed appreciate it more than you just being you?

[disasterstraight]

If I am being honest, I think she would appreciate anything I say, as long as I say it from my heart.

It is I who would prefer that the words be at least well written.

[hoboagogo]

what about if you wrote what you wanted to say and then someone looked over and made it sound prettier for you?

[disasterstraight]

You mean like an editor?

Yes, I suppose that could work.

[hoboagogo]

yeah or something. then you get your feelings out instead of someone just guessing, but they make you sound... i dunno, however it is you wanna sound.

[disasterstraight]

That really does sound like the best option, doesn't it?

I don't suppose you know of anyone who would fit the bill.

[hoboagogo]

nah if i were able to be that helpful i woulda started with it

never really asked to look at peoples writing skills

[disasterstraight]

No, I suppose it isn't a priority to know most of the time how good someone is at writing.

In any event, I thank you for the advice.

[hoboagogo]

yeah sure

good luck impressing your wife i guess.

but you know if shes got a watch she can read this whole thing right?

[disasterstraight]

[ ... ]

It would seem she already has.

[ Because guess who just showed up downthread making fun of him. ]

[hoboagogo]

[He goes ahead and scrolls down to see- and can't help but be amused.]

at least now she knows your thoughtful

[disasterstraight]

She certainly knows something about me, alright.

[hoboagogo]

well whatever she knows about you it seems like shes into it

so that aint too bad. maybe she can help you find someone to edit your stuff.

[disasterstraight]

Maybe she could. Though I think that would ruin whatever element of surprise I have left.
