I love everything to do with words: reading, storytelling, wordplay, writing about books and running, and Toastmasters!

@DJKrushen Thanks, I'm sure I would love this book!

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

@GreilMarcusNET Thank you, Greil Marcus. This was my 6:00 a.m. random, unexpected elevation.

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

A long, deep article about art. Rich, inspiring. Read it and keep reaching high, for transcendence.

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

So proud of my son, his wife Chihiro, and my new grandson! Sad they are so far away in Osaka, Japan.

2023 was a difficult year for many, so I feel guilty saying this, but it was the most fulfilling of my life. Released Bayonetta Origins in March and on Dec.20 my son was born!

2024 brings new challenges, as a game designer and father. Ready to face them with this guy by my side

Not just a cartoon: helpful info and resources from Iva about dealing with changes to Acrobat and PDF markup.

@GlobalCalgary @Piglita @global_leslie I love how you tell it like it is. Perfect retort.

Excellent presentation at @editorsBC meeting by Alicia Smith, president @dyslexiaON @AliciaFromTiny about #dyslexia. Editors love to read, but did you know only 30% learn to read easily and 10-20% are dyslexic? Solution is #StructuredLiteracy. Change how reading is taught!

Ever confused about the order of adjectives? Watch this.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Let's get our adjectives in order.

@FrancesLPeck @WayneNgWrites @Biblio_Ninja @Zoomer Up there with the big names--impressive indeed! Zadie Smith and Kate Atkinson are two of my favourites. Will be reading Uncontrolled Flight for sure!

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

A lot of truth in this well-written, no bull*hit article.

[NW Editors Guild (Find us on other socials) @EdsGuild]

“The editor’s relationship to a book should be an invisible one.”

Read about the life of Robert Gottlieb, longtime editor to an impressive array of famous authors and subject of the recent documentary "Turn Every Page."

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

This is what I've been working on for over two years! #copyediting #projectmanagement What a feeling of accomplishment for the whole team!

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

@FrancesLPeck Looking forward to reading!

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

Brilliant, funny, and I learned what these kinds of puns are called!

[Adam Sharp @AdamCSharp]

For many years I’ve been collecting Tom Swifties and Croakers (lines of dialogue where a pun is used in reported speech). Here’s a thread of my favourites (some made up by me, some just plain stolen), beginning with this one…

“I love camping,” Tom said, intently

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

@AdamCSharp What an amazing collection! Love this thread.

[Nancy Tinari @nancyrunswrites]

@DJKrushen I too love the variety and ever-changing challenges of editing and writing.
