A statement I brought back with me from #ACES2023, from a session by @sesquiotic, paraphrased here:

It's not about clarity, because they understand it perfectly and tell you how it should be said. If it were really about clarity, they'd say "What?"

Makes me examine my own language biases. Oh, yes. I have them. And so do you, I guarantee it.

Having spent four days among my people means I got to geek out over the Midwest vowel shift.

Can't do that just anywhere, y'know.

Busy day traveling, finding hotel, registering for conference, walking to Freelancers Happy Hour, meeting new people, renewing old friendships, walking down the street for a delicious dinner with #edibuddies (and much laughter).

I sleep now. Tomorrow the conference begins! #ACESEvolve #ACES2023

I packed my trusty purple hard-side suitcase today in readiness for beginning my road trip tomorrow. My tech and related items are in my purple faux crocodile tote. A reusable shopping bag holds cereal bars, Kind bars, little boxes of raisins, single-serving lemonade mix packets, and miniature chocolate bars. And my toiletries will go into a small drawstring bag, the last thing to pack tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I'm one of Those People.

I've just roughed out which sessions I intend to attend at #ACESEvolve #ACES2023 and . . .

I cannot bilocate, let alone trilocate, which is gonna be a problem. #TooManyGoodSessions

IF you are a freelance editor, and IF you're in or near Columbus, Ohio, and IF you're available the night of Wednesday, March 22, you're welcome to join us at the Freelancers' Happy Hour!

I'm at the part of my trip planning where I've made multiple versions of a packing list, moved clothes around in my closet, tried on several pairs of footwear, triple-checked on my hotel reservation, and changed my mind multiple times about how much tech I need to take. Do I want to pack the laptop? Can I work with the tablet and its Bluetooth keyboard instead?

And luggage. Do I pack my hard case, or do I want to use a couple of duffel-style bags?

SO MANY DECISIONS
