To me that puts you more in "the professionals" category. *grins*

I know. That sounds weird, but it's true.

I mean, we're both doing this for the same reason: it's fun. God knows it's not because we're getting rich doing it.

I think the professional attitude comes in when you do take the trouble to make sure the spelling is good, the paragraphs are solid, the characterization/plot makes sense, and you go back and copyedit and revise.

The key sentence you have is here: ...the fun is in writing a good story, and that includes presentation.

Dude, hate to break it to you, but that's a professional attitude.

:-)

No, seriously.

I think there are a lot of people who'd place themselves in the it's-funsters pack who I'd classify as a being in the professionals pack because of that attention to detail.

It comes down to perception and headspace, I suppose.
