Calling all #edibuddies! #StetChat starts on Bluesky in a little less than 30 minutes! Go to Bluesky when it’s time and do a search there for #StetChat. Then join in for an hour, chatting away with everyone on answer to this chat’s questions. 😃
I’m editing now, but I’ll sneak some peeks at the chat now and then. Starts at 4 p.m. ET!

Tomorrow on Bluesky will be the second #StetChat live discussion. I'm one of the people involved in #StetChat. The first chat was so much fun; it was great to hang out with a bunch of editors for an hour.
#StetChat: 🚩 Red Flag Roulette 🚩 is TOMORROW, Wednesday, June 17 at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT.
In Red Flag Roulette, we’ll pose questions about hypothetical red flag clients and difficult editing situations, and we’ll talk about how you’d deal with them.

#Edibuddies, who among you remembers the #LowTech days? We had to ship #edited #paper #manuscripts back to publishers by UPS or FedEx. My brain was part of my manual spell-checking device. And I used to go through a *lot* of erasable colored pencils! #editors #editing

Many #edibuddies have created and posted AI policies, and I suppose it's past time to do the same.
I included this in a LinkedIn post today:
"I do not use generative AI when I edit. I'm here to help you strengthen your voice, and AI has no role in that beautifully human process."
I think that's a decent start. I also need a written policy about editing AI-generated text. I work with human authors, not LLMs. I do need to acknowledge nuance involving "AI-assisted" text, though.

Having #editor buddies (aka #edibuddies) is vital to #MentalHealth when you're #SelfEmployed. I've enjoyed talking & planning this week with The Quad, the #mastermind group I've been part of since 2015. It's great to analyze biz plans, compare work tools, & get support. 💖 https://quadlings.com/

What's helping you #survive #emotionally amid daily awfulness in the world?
❤️ 🤗
For me, it's #hugs, #jokes from #family members, Zoom meetings with fellow #editorial #pros (I see you, Editorial Freelancers Association), online communication with #edibuddies, #tea, #classical #music, & enough #sleep at night.

#Edibuddies* are good people. They look after one other. ♥️

Things I forget when I'm in the middle of an editing project or have increased my offline human interaction (or both):
• I greatly enjoy interacting with #edibuddies and the #WritingCommunity on social media.
• I love sharing grammar tips.
• Last I knew, some of my mutuals were in the middle of interesting-sounding WIPs, and I want to know how those are going.
Anyway, hi! I look forward to getting reacquainted with folks. How's the writing, editing, and procrastinating been?

#Editors and #edibuddies: I always like finding out about editors' associations I hadn't known of. Today I learned about the Asian Council of Science Editors:

You know who is so life-affirming and wonderfully kind? #Friends and #edibuddies* who text or email to say hi, share info about fun things to read, and check in on one another. You know who you are, and I'm #grateful to have you in my life. 💜 📖

*Edibuddies are #editors who are friends. -

And of course that first hashtag should be #edibuddies. 😖

I have a friend who's looking for a developmental editor to help complete the process of divorcing a novel from its fanfic roots. It's a M/F romance, set in the Old West. You must be familiar with Lonesome Dove (LD: The Series and LD: The Outlaw Years).
She's a good writer. If you think this might be a project for you, let me know and I'll pass your info along!

It is so lovely when #colleagues — #edibuddies — and #friends let one another know how much they appreciate them. Such #kindness and #thoughtfulness are good for a person's outlook on life. 🥰 #AmEditing

#ACES2024 is the hashtag to follow for ACES (The Society for Editing) 2024 conference ‘Unleashing Creativity’ in San Diego, 4–6 April. Wordsmithery galore. 🤓

#Edibuddies (for the uninitiated, that means (“#editor #friends”), go follow this conversation over on Bluesky if you love book-design #terminology: https://bsky.app/profile/dylanmeconis.bsky.social/post/3koclvsb7t22z. It’ll bring you joy. 💖

Grammarly, do you see a comma there? Does this LOOK like a nonrestrictive phrase? Okay, maybe it kinda looks like it. But it's decidedly not.
This silly app...
I get extra annoyed when I remember that people with less grammar-related training trust Grammarly. They're being misinformed.
I suppose that's why I and other #edibuddies decided to edit. We can serve writers better than any program can, and we enjoy doing it.

The Neurodivergent Publishing Conference is in two weeks!
I LOVED the 2023 conference. I've never been to another event that was this welcoming, accommodating, and inspiring. It's made by and for people with autism and/or ADHD!
I'm amazed more people haven't signed up.
It's 100% online. Tickets are only $35. (Priced for accessibility. It's worth more.) We're running out of time to buy tickets: https://ndpub.org/
