#editing #writing #digitalart

Been writing! The idea dump for the unicorn story is pretty complete, a new flash fiction for my patrons is done, and chapter 38 of Night Falls is edited.

I'm starting to get over the shock of being laid off, and starting to look forward to the writing time! #writer #ideadump #editing

How do you identify harmful tropes while developmental #editing?

Assess the manuscript before taking on the project and look for potential triggers/harmful tropes. Then you can either decline the project or set aside more time to work on it if it'll be a difficult read.

How to use plain language principles for #editing

It's National Punctuation Day, and our editors have a new rulebook: the 58th edition of the AP Stylebook, with 200+ new and revised entries. (Yes, healthcare is one word now.)

@davidcrumm.bsky.social explains the style we use for books and @readthespirit.bsky.social.
