I finished critiquing and making line notes ~50 pages of someone's manuscript. I've started reading and making notes for another ~50 pages of someone else's. When I'm done that, I have yet another ~50 pages to close read and notate by Tuesday. I'll also have a couple thousand words to critique by Monday afternoon. Catching up after a week or so off is gruelling. #WritingCommunity #editing #LineEditing #WritingLife

#CIEP2023 begins later today ๐ŸŽ‰

It's up in Glasgow, but I'll be joining in the hybrid event from muggy Morecambe.

These editing conferences are brilliant value-for-money CPD.

I always learn lots.

Let's do this. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I hit my editing stride again today after a summer of spinning plates. Got a good chunk of work done.

Felt good! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

A warm one, though, in that there attic office. โ˜€๏ธ

But I had a refreshing dip in the sea when I'd hit my word count, so that's cool! (In both senses. ๐Ÿ˜Ž โ„๏ธ)

Oh yeah!

Back at it!

The plan began in 2017.

I trained and I got experience.

Then in 2022 I jumped in with both feet.

Very glad I did.

Why new self-publishers SHOULD put Baby in the corner. (For now.)

Why new self-publishers SHOULD put Baby in the corner. Youโ€™re going to learn lots of lessons when you self-publish for the first time and itโ€™s better not to learn these lessons at your โ€ฆ
