Back just long enough to say that if you're on (or moving to) Bluesky, let's be friends again. About to finally get started! Almost same handle, just no underscore. (X is wanting to include a link to not me if I type my full handle.)

It’s funny how, for the longest time (especially in HS), I had trouble getting under max word counts. Now I find I often have to add words because concise has become my default. Where do you fall?

Ah, that annoying situation where you want to sit outside and work but can't see the computer screen for the glare...and the pollen. #amediting

What a nice feeling when a writer/editor you previously worked with tells you they've been begging their current employer to bring you into the editing process because of your work. 🎉 I hope YOU have something great happen today! HAPPY FRIDAY!

Anybody else have fights with Acrobat when editing PDFs? Sometimes those commenting tools just won't cooperate. #amediting

Succinct writing is not always best. Sometimes you need more words to accurately explain something. #writingtips

Especially helpful for calendar/schedule-related copy: If something is only for one day, it can’t “start” on a day. It “is” on a day. (It can, however, start at a certain time.) #amediting #writingtips

We have quite the gray rainy day here. So happy I stumbled across #KidLitArtPostcard...lots of fun and color by amazing artists! Check them out if you're in need of an illustrator for your children's or MG book. An extra-special find on #ReadAcrossAmericaDay.

I'm determined to catch up on some @ACESEditors Academy recorded webcasts this week between projects. Any other members have a favorite? #amediting

Is anyone familiar with "A-grade" (not "Grade A)" as a term to indicate extra great?

Internal style guides help companies keep their messages organized and consistent. Authors can also benefit from style guides for their manuscripts. I'll be sharing key things to include over the coming days!#amediting #writing #writingtips
