I'm a reader. Before I became a literary critic and an editor, I was a reader. But sometimes I find a story that reads me, that understands me and why I do what I do. That sees me. What a rare and wonderous thing this is, a book that looks back at you. #adventuresinediting
Somehow I badly misaligned the audio track for tomorrow's episode. Fixing it was made easier by @S0rryBTR 's outstanding facial reactions and active listening skills. 🤣

very nice to end the week with hitting the accept button on two OQ articles! #AdventuresInEditing
Happy Tuesday! You know things are looking up when one of your favorite words is @MerriamWebster ‘s “Word of the Day.” #alacrity #adventuresinediting #filthandgrammar coming soon I swear w/ #alacrity
Why is the "l" at the end of "girl" a small cap "i"? Beats me. #AdventuresInEditing
Nothing like getting to the VERY LAST PAGE of a revision and finding a note asking for TWO NEW CHAPTERS.
I AM DONE....shit. #adventuresinediting
Editor: "Would Zac Efron be in an Oscar-nominated movie?"
Me: "First of all, stop making me feel old."
Editor: 😬
Me: *erases all pop culture references forever* #adventuresinediting
*enters short key command for consolidating clips in Protools.*
*is trying to work a little too fast and is off by one key.*
Wow what dummy took like six screenshots of my session yesterday? 🤦♀️

May have had too much fun writing a headline for a story about toilet paper 🧻.

My last step in editing is to go through the whole thing one last time on paper, with the trusty red pen.
I've got a full-time job, a night-owl toddler, a work trip out of state, and 11 days 'til deadline.

Don't mind me, just sitting here crying, editing my WIP and thinking my own words are incredibly moving ...
... then realizing that the music station is playing "The Fellowship Reunited" track from Return of the King.

You guys I'm a published author and I just found a sentence in my WIP where I used the word "himself" three times in the span of 10 words.

Me: Crap, I used the word "murmur" twice pretty close to each other. Alright internet, give me a synonym.
Manuscript, now: An arrhythmia rippled through the crowd.

I stared at a sentence in this draft revision for 10 mins trying to figure out why my editor deleted this one particular word, because the sentence made NO sense without it.
Eventually figured out that she *added* the word, and *I'm* the moron.

So I’m preparing the video that is supposed to be uploaded today for my #residentevil4 #letsplay series. My Elgato or computer had an error exporting the raw footage, so about 30 seconds are just gone. Fuck. Oh well, these things happen hahaha. #adventuresinediting #shithappens
Nothing like Premiere Pro deciding to go completely insane with a major meltdown and turn a 5-minute export into a 90-minute fiasco. Getting home at 1:30am instead of midnight. #AdventuresInEditing
"We get it, you know what adverbs are, Jesus."
"STOP SAYING HAD"
*laughs way too loudly at own joke*
"HOW ARE THERE FOUR TENSES IN ONE PARAGRAPH???"
"I am so smart and clever and also the dumbest human alive"

Update: I did the obvious thing of closing Word and then reopening the file. Problem appears to be solved. Huzzah! #AdventuresInEditing
Fun new @FG_Confessional drinking game: when you listen to our upcoming episode, take a drink every time @NerdintheCity or I say “mission statement” in the opening. #AdventuresInEditing
