Having #editor buddies (aka #edibuddies) is vital to #MentalHealth when you're #SelfEmployed. I've enjoyed talking & planning this week with The Quad, the #mastermind group I've been part of since 2015. It's great to analyze biz plans, compare work tools, & get support. πŸ’– https://quadlings.com/

What's helping you #survive #emotionally amid daily awfulness in the world?

❀️ πŸ€—

For me, it's #hugs, #jokes from #family members, Zoom meetings with fellow #editorial #pros (I see you, Editorial Freelancers Association), online communication with #edibuddies, #tea, #classical #music, & enough #sleep at night.

#Edibuddies* are good people. They look after one other. β™₯️

*A coined word used in the worldwide community of #editors to refer to editor buddies.

Things I forget when I'm in the middle of an editing project or have increased my offline human interaction (or both):

β€’ I greatly enjoy interacting with #edibuddies and the #WritingCommunity on social media.

β€’ I love sharing grammar tips.

β€’ Last I knew, some of my mutuals were in the middle of interesting-sounding WIPs, and I want to know how those are going.

Anyway, hi! I look forward to getting reacquainted with folks. How's the writing, editing, and procrastinating been?

#Editors and #edibuddies: I always like finding out about editors' associations I hadn't known of. Today I learned about the Asian Council of Science Editors:

What the heck is a style sheet?

I love a good style sheet! Like, genuinely, what a joy. So, if you’ve been looking into editorial services and wondering what on earth style sheets are … or why editors seem to imagine you want...

You know who is so life-affirming and wonderfully kind? #Friends and #edibuddies* who text or email to say hi, share info about fun things to read, and check in on one another. You know who you are, and I'm #grateful to have you in my life. πŸ’œ πŸ“–

I have a friend who's looking for a developmental editor to help complete the process of divorcing a novel from its fanfic roots. It's a M/F romance, set in the Old West. You must be familiar with Lonesome Dove (LD: The Series and LD: The Outlaw Years).

She's a good writer. If you think this might be a project for you, let me know and I'll pass your info along!
