Editing infuses...
...and steeps like tea. Never leaves the eyes. One's brain on constant alert for vagrancies. The heart springs when cadences reveal, diction sings, and there is proper use of those much-feared semi-colons.
What are you #editing right now? #WritingCommunity

[Rachel Peterson @racheledits]

If your self-pub budget is small, or nonexistent, that doesn’t mean editing should be nonexistent for your book. Use as many free or low-cost resources as you can. But use them!

As if with glaring neon lights strobing toward me, I read an American fem char using the Britishism “whinge,” which I take to mean the British romance author neglected vocab homework for her N Amer readers. Unless “whinge” has been recently adopted…? #editor #bane

Word that seems outdated: picturesquely
IMO.

[Rachel Peterson @racheledits]

Word overused in the romance genre: ruefully
Agree or disagree?

The editing never stops, a constantly running faucet. To the point of scaring friends from emailing. So, a spam filter. #humour #LoveYourEditor

[Rachel Peterson @racheledits]

For the love of editing. Yes. I edit for the love of stories. That’s magic in all kinds of ways. #loveyoureditor

How does inspiration hit you? A dream? A conversation? An activity? Reading or watching something? #WritingCommunity

[Rachel Peterson @racheledits]

Listen, then write. Ideas are there. Give them space to breathe. #WritingCommunity

[Rachel Peterson @racheledits]

Friday writing. Friday editing. Friday idea generating. Which is the most fun? The Friday part! 🤣 #WritingCommunity

@MarylewisMcrae Definitely! Popping into three book ideas. On a roll this snowy-turned-slushy morning. Glad to be at my desk! Listening to Bridgerton classical pop covers too.
