Hmm, maybe that's my niche. I'm a former blogger, a somewhat ambivalent Substacker (I haven't monetized because I don't want to feel obligated, and I have spasms of not feeling important enough to join the din), and a crack editor, if I do say so myself. Am I just asking for another nightmare?

Well, maybe not if you set some solid rules for yourself.

IDK, word count limit, messaging exchange limit (like, you receive a piece, edit it, return it, and one more round of communication for any clarification--I hear of writers who need an exorbitant amount of feedback), limit on number of pieces you edit per unit time (day, week, month, etc.).

Again, idk. but I imagine sticking to a feasible routine and structure would ease the pressure. ?? Also, it may be adoptable by others who feel the same.

Many thanks, all good advice.
