Time to face the music, as they say.
I'm refreshing my editing website, and to do that, I need to know what it's like working with me. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Drop comments here, DMs, Discord, or email and I'll take it all in stride. I'm not perfect, I know that. I'm trying.

Need to finish seven chapters today 🤞

Me: This book isn't that violent!
Beat Reader: You open with six corpses on the ground and suggestive foreplay with lightning involved.
Me: ... that wasn't the original Chapter 1? It doesn't count?

I have finished reading all the stories in the slush for Triangulation: Bad Romance! There are 60 stories I marked for a second look and 6 I have accepted.
Now the tough decisions really begin.

I was no slouch. I could easily get beautiful women, and occasional men, in my bed. I had faith in my appeal. Regardless, I was under no illusion about my looks or my body. For me, my fat was like my brown eyes or my pale skin or the fact that I wasn’t quite 5’5”. I could diet or wear colored contacts or tan or wear high, high heels, but the probable medical damage that would result wasn’t worth it to me.
I #AmEditing and just found a passage that I will NEVER take out of this book.
I've finished the re-read/review/edit of my book and I think I've fixed the problems. This poor book has been written, rewritten, edited, torn up, and put back together. I think it hangs together correctly now.
On to the next book in the series. I don't think it'll be as much work. #amediting
Another day with more than 2000 words! I'm hoping this means I can finish up the latest Shifting Lands book by the end of next week.
Please keep sharing The Lesbians in Space audiobook campaign! I'm so excited to hear the narration!

I've just written an editing query about how I'd envisage four people would carry a corpse. The comments I never imagined writing!

When you remember midway in chapter 2 that the MC is scottish, and talk with an accent...

#WIPSnips (synonym) from The Ugliest Man in Hollywood (which is Notting Hill X "What's Love Got To Do With It?" by Tina Turner, but Jewish, queer, and later in life.) #AmEditing
"While the technology of scraping is the same, the purpose and material effects of those two systems is massively different."
Long article but worth a read! Lots to think about re: #AI and #ethics in here.

D15. Nobody has fun. Time travel in my story is dangerous, unpredictable, and intended to become a weapon of war by powerful players with their own interests at heart. Anyone else caught up in it is collateral damage.

Rin is forced to infiltrate dangerous territory in disguise. Not exactly part of her skill set 😅 #WIPSnips #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy
I was planning on starting a read-through of both WIPs on Monday, but I got an idea for WIP 2 this morning and I already know it will make the MC a stronger character.
So I suppose I’ll start implementing that tomorrow!

I'm at max momentum, and the edits are flying. Figures that it's time to start taxes on Monday.

Ok. That's enough edits. Now time to get back to my little hackers and the dilemma of their own making.

I’ve discovered a new framework for the editing process and it’s made me realize how chaotic and haphazard my edits were for my last two novels. Of all the craft advice out there, I find so little to help with the approach of revision, especially for chronic planners like myself
