I #amediting. Can you tell? ;-) I #amwriting too, I suppose. Just a little.

I have completed my challenge of 100 books with just over an hour to spare. Phew. I almost lost faith. https://t.co/yAkfgEmfLe

Note to writers: "Amazing" is very tired. "Amazing" needs a long vacation. Therefore, please don't write about your amazing party, your amazing girlfriend's amazing dress, or your amazing vacation. Something more pungent & specific, please.

May you find magic in words.

@aharmon_author What’s your spirit animal?

[Fantasy Author @BrianRathbone]

I never thought I could hurt my own feelings until I started editing my own work . . .

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

@ChristineBrae Putting it on my list now!

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

@aharmon_author 😂 I feel you, Amy.

Ha! Here’s some good justification for all you authors who feel guilty about tweeting when you *should* be writing. 👀

I wish I were a little kid so I could take a long nap and everyone would just be proud of me.

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

Is this true, y’all? Have the voices always existed, or do they appear when you sit down and write?

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

@raven_oak Ugh, yes! 🙄

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

I hate when someone RTs me and I check out their profile to RT something good they’ve tweeted, but alll they have are RTs. 🤨

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

@byMorganWright I’ve always wanted to start some sort of system where authors can email me short little paragraphs/pages/sentences they’re stuck on or need help on, and for a small fee, I would give my input/edit them. Because obsessing is what editors do. Authors should be creating!

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

@CarlDietrich No doubt. But the situation would have to be pretty extreme.

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

One of my pet peeves in a book/ms? So and so “bit her lips so hard they bled.” Like...really? Come on! Who DOES this in real life? The character was just a little nervous, jeez. And why doesn’t the character ever taste of blood? Nor have to spit said blood? 🤦🏻‍♀️ #amediting

[Heather Jacquemin @EditorHeather]

My stream is overflowing with authors doing everything possible to put off their dreaded editing.

1. I don’t understand. It’s so fun!
2. Y’all realize you can hire someone who enjoys editing, right? 😉

@EdsofEarth I do sample edits for free, for up to one hour of my time. I may complete two pages or ten pages in that time. I also require an excerpt from the middle of their manuscript, where both the storytelling and the writing tend to slip.

You mocha me horny.
