It may not be grammatically correct, but I refer to myself as
"writer-editor." Because my writing and editing duites are so fluid and
intertwined, this seems to best describe my existence. About 25% of my
writing envolves editing source material, and about 50% of my editing
requires re-writing documentation written by others.
I wear a lot of hats on my thick-but-empty head, and most all of them
involve writing of some sort.
Blessings,
Darren
