I recorded a #video today of me #singing and playing #AcousticGuitar
Mom's doing more of the stuff, Dad and I are working and the dog is of the utmost belief we should all be worshipping her. For Science.
Kind note from a current client: "I will say this a million times but thank you for working with me on this. You have been a tremendous help and I am starting to see this all come together, largely because of the work you have done!"
I was writing an email about courses (as in classes), and my grammar checker prompted me to add commas around "of course."
In the context of course matters, the context, of course, matters.

The funny bits you encounter when #editing...
I got copies of the Omnibus for Ardulum today! If you want either of these chonky tomes, check out the Omnibus backer level in the #Kickstarter!

Should I normalize the accent for one of my characters to increase the story's chances of selling and to possibly remove a distraction from the story's themes (the accent was meant to reinforce) -or- should I leave the dialogue as is despite how it makes readers uncomfortable...? 😕 #editing

I am getting all the things done and being super productive on the #AmWriting #Writing #Editing which can only mean one thing ...
My dog is planning something.
Friends! As the semester winds down, I've got some summer capacity for academic editing work. If you're working on a writing project this summer and could use professional support, please reach out! I love this work and would be delighted to connect. https://katinarogers.com/editing/
Tip 3 of 9: Start right before the first change in your protagonist's everyday world. You can take a moment to establish what life was like, and then readers want to see how that will be transforming.

I vaguely remember tooting about this before but does anyone have some N-log sample footage I could have to test some video editing tools? Like a 10 second clip of something boring would be enough. Boosts appreciated

Were copy editors not considered superfluous, I'd know the meaning of "tomorrow" in this story.
After Mom's doctor's appointments we had a SURPRISE! physical therapy appointment.
So I'm not going to be very productive on the #AmWriting #Writing #Editing today as my schedule is pretty torched.

Editing is essential, but it shouldn't feel inaccessible. Each author has unique needs, which shouldn't be a barrier to getting quality editing. Communicating your needs with an editor fosters support and enhances the value of the process. ⛏️📚 https://www.ajeditorialservices.com/post/making-editing-accessible

Tip 2 of 9: Some authors write extended intros because *they* need all that information to tell the story—but your reader rarely needs that much info to enjoy it!
#WritingCommunity #EditingTips #Writer #Editing #WritersLife #Author #AmWriting #WritingTips

It can be hard for editors to read for fun, but I've found it helpful to remind myself of a few things:
1. There will be errors.
2. The author's, editor's, or publisher's style choices may differ from mine.
3. I'm not being paid to mentally edit. I'm there to enjoy the story.
I've made some minor tweaks to my website, most notably including a reorganized Services page. Hopefully this somewhat better delineates the scope of what I do, and highlights the things I'm most often asked about. #editing #translation

Took mom to the doctor today ... no I don't know which one; she has so many at this point I can't keep up and my life has basically been from medical professional to medical professional ... but apparently she's doing great.
There's going to be some internal changes over here at The Taoist Online. We have seen some rapid growth in submissions and volunteer writers. So, I ask you...

Still not quite back on our proper schedule yet but things are getting better and I eventually will have to post the pictures of the flowers blooming in the middle of the night. But until then I will be doing the #AmWriting #Writing #Editing.
Took the doggo out very early this morning. We were greeted by the friendly neighborhood cat (grey and white). The neighborhood cat kept meowing at us until we came over to a bunch of flowers that only seems to bloom at night as during the day they're closed. So I had a pretty good 1 a.m.
I'm shifting gears from a monthly newsletter to a quarterly one (largely because it turns out months go FAST!)--so hey, if you're interested in #InclusiveLanguage, #Romance, #fiction #writing, #editing, and/or related events and opportunities, but you didn't want to hear from me THAT often, maybe sign up!

This is also true for music! Edit your arrangements, edit your lyrics, edit how long the song "needs" to be. Rarely have I met a song too short, but (thanks to #ADHD) I often encounter songs and tunes that feel too long.

If you’re looking for an editor for your fiction, consider hiring me!
I provide #editing services via The Duke of Editing, including most levels of editing and more! I’ve worked with indies and publishers! #writing #sciencefiction #fantasy #horror

PSA: If you’re working on #opensource code, or basically collaborating on #code with anyone, make sure that your #editor or #IDE understands #EditorConfig!
It’s a really helpful way for teams to define basic style settings for the project, which ensures consistent files and reduces unnecessary merge conflicts.

I was playing with audio transcription and subtitling in #DavinciResolve beta 18.5 - on good clean dialog it's like 95% accurate.
Very useful, super stoked.

So, life hasn't let me get on quite as quickly as I'd like on the #editing #PearlsontheRoad and I'm not quite ready for beta readers yet. I will repeat this call again when it's ready, and I swear it won't be long now, but if anyone is interested in beta reading this let me know!
Also, I am about to start recording a spoken version for a friend who prefers #audiobook versions. If you might be interested in this, also let me know!

A decade ago, I released what I now consider to be my magnum opus video project, EDM Looking Glass.
Every tape, every scene, many cuts... Each have an inspired story behind them I wish I could tell to everyone.
It may get a sequel yet, but that surely won't match the level of artistic expression I had back then. It'll be technically better but wholly different.
I'm still proud of my work!
@petrosh And U.S. born citizens 6 times less likely to know the difference between letter X and multiplication sign ×? Maybe poor education is behind their criminal tendencies.
“Denouement” seems like the wrong word here. Maybe “detente”? #editing #journalism

I don't know if other fiction editors do this, but I often find myself mimicking the facial expressions that characters are said to be making—mainly because I'm checking that the expression is either possible or likely in the scenario, but partly because it's fun.
🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll experiment with some alternatives to Evil Mode for modal editing in Emacs!
The goal is to find a way to leverage Emacs' built in keybindings along with targeted modal editing functionality where it is most useful. Come help me figure out a better way to edit!

What people think editors do: "Wrong. This is wrong. All of it is wrong!"
What editors really do: "What's the style guide? Who's the audience? What's the context? Will readers understand this? No? Let me fix it or suggest a change. Otherwise, I'll leave it alone."
