Oh, cool! #ACESchat

I think maybe the key is you advice about marking emails “unread.” #ACESchat

Yeah. I’d like to know that, too. #ACESchat

I teach multiple classes and have that system for them. Each class has a folder. The problem comes in when I forget to move emails into those folders. #ACESchat

Wow. Interesting point about scheduling. #ACESchat

I’m a big believer in to-do lists and checklists. I have an editing checklist for every project. #ACESchat

Yeah. I’m not sure I could keep it up, though. #ACESchat

My problem is this plan is I get so many emails, the emails get lost! #ACESChat

I feel like I have your level of interests and things going on, @katiebeaconpoint.bsky.social, but not your level of organization. #ACESchat!

I’m always juggling multiple projects, although not always in editing. #ACESchat

Hi, Katie! #ACESChatt @katiebeaconpoint.bsky.social

Hi! @gerrrib.bsky.social here getting ready for #ACESchat today!

When I still worked at a newspaper, we used Social Flow, which I loved. #ACESchat

I know I’m struggling to find my place post-Twitter. #ACESchat

You and me both! #ACESchat

Well at least I know I don’t have to do TikTok! #ACESchat

I can sing and make faces while you do the latest dance! #ACESchat

Exactly @monocleediting.bsky.social ! #ACESchat

This is what I really want advice on because the social media scene is so segmented these days … and I don’t see myself as being right for TikTok! #ACESchat

We all need a push sometimes! }ACESchat

Love the idea of us all having a special sauce! #ACESchat

Exactly, @monocleediting.bsky.social . Marketing myself doesn’t come naturally for me either … I’m naturally that behind-the-scenes editor type. #ACESchat

I’m interested in this topic because I’ve never had to market myself, but as I take on freelance projects, I can see that marketing is important. #ACESchat

Slide with this sentence: The meeting attendees were distracted by the kittens’ meowing.

Lisa McLendon gave this as an example when talking about fused particles. I’d look at that sentence and say to myself “I’m not sure if it’s wrong or not. So why not rewrite it” to: “The meeting attendees were distracted when the kittens meowed.” When in doubt , punt. #ACES2025 Sweat This, Not That

Lisa McLendon makes a point about Grammar.

You’re working with grammar. You wonder what you should sweat. Or what you shouldn’t sweat. Lisa Mckendon has the answer for you at the #ACES2025 conference.

@petersokolowski.bsky.social on the early English grammar book writers: They made the bad decision of trying to fit the square peg of a Germanic language into the round hole of Latin grammar. #ACES2025

Listening to @petersokolowski.bsky.social talk about the first dictionary (even at 8 a.m.) is a true pleasure. #ACES2025
