I finally started doing it, to open the last version of THE PRINCESS WHO HITCHHIKED and actually get some edits in.
I managed to get to page three before something pulled me away from the computer and disrupted my concentration, but I did get there.

Percy definitely doesn't like this pic, but I feel it. All the edits, all the cleaning, all the things on the old to-do… but it's worth it! Isn't it?

It's that time of year were the fog stays a bit longer, the cool air of night hangs around to mid day, and the temperature is perfect to be outside in.
My favorite time of year.

It's never too late to start. It's not silly or foolish to have dreams. It's only foolish if you don't try.

I swear I should have a TextExpander for this great blog post, "What belongs in the Introduction", I cite it so often. It's by @nancyrhof.bsky.social, my fellow editor and co-founder of @planteditors.bsky.social (third co-founder avoids socials). #IAmEditing #SciComm planteditors.com/what-belongs...
Looking forward to presenting at EFACon25.

I’m on my second pass of A Quantum Translation. Getting it ready for my editor. Things have slowed as I have one eye on finding a job, but I’m happy how it is on the second read. I didn’t change anything in Chapter Two. That’s unknown for me. Anyway, onwards and upwards. #iamwriting #iamediting

This was unintentional, but the way I wrote this could be interpreted as "I thought it was a TARDIS" or "It thought it was a TARDIS". #IAmEditing (self-edit version).
Screenshot of extra words left over after I've rearranged a sentence. The text reads "is a of, which"
As I edit, I like to imagine a pile of deleted excess words that gets bigger as I streamline the text. #IAmEditing

Little #IAmEditing rant, the reader should be able to visualize what you did from reading the methods. If you start with a whole 🍎 🍇 🍌 🍓 make sure to describe how you got to the GC-MS or HPLC step! #SciComm
