Ok I finished this edit with a couple of hours before my 4p (pacific) meeting so guess maybe I should start thinking about creating the workshop I’m presenting in 3 days

Love it when Word randomly forgets English when I’m editing 🙄

This cat scratches his face against my computer with such force that he turns it halfway around multiple times a day 🙄

I should be working but this guy climbed on top of me so I guess it’s back to watching the Olympics, which I still haven’t finished

Got my signed copy in the mail today! @hiddenpoetmusic.bsky.social

My internet is down so hopefully that means I’ll get some good editing done today!

My client @hiddenpoetmusic.bsky.social’s debut book is high on or topping the charts in a few categories at Amazon! So proud of him and his work!

Boo!

Back to my office and trying to edit with this purr machine in the way

Conference attire day 3: fight evil, read books

I’m at a conference with a Western theme and honestly this might be my new aesthetic

And my standard conference pitch-taking shirt with a quote from Margaret Atwood to remind authors that they’re doing something that matters:”A word after a word after a word is power.”

Day 1 conference tee. Keeping it casual, as always.

My 14yo son just used “liminal” in conversation 😍🥰

I go directly from “it’s too soon to start this book for book group, I’ll finish it too early and forget everything” to “how am I going to finish this in time for group??” So anyway I better start this book for Tuesday’s discussion.

How have these authors that I signed at completely different times all sent me new manuscripts to review within a couple of days of each other?

I was about to go to bed but then this just happened

Just opened this synopsis I told a client to edit to her heart’s content and I love seeing that she did. Can you see all that red?!?! 🤣

Late night pre-travel snuggle while I finish an audiobook

My wife cracked open the car window when driving home from school with the teen, and I thought it was because we had a nice spring day here today but really it was because of teen boy smell

Clients come first but I don't have time to read/edit any of their manuscripts before heading out for spring break tomorrow, so I'm excited to be back in my inbox today, reviewing pitches and early pages from the fall!

Today is “sending editors nudges” day. I hate sending nudges 🫠

After a long day of editing at my computer, I just went to change into my pajamas to go to bed and realized I’m already/still wearing them. Saving time at bed time 🙌

bookstores are getting increasingly conservative in their actual book buying numbers, so 1000% preorder that book you're excited about please. Every single copy helps.

Prepared for my dinner of gourmet pretzels and wine

My all day today (and tomorrow) since I have to finish this for book club on Monday and then start (and finish) the book for book club on Tuesday and then start (and finish) the book for book club on Thursday

Getting some good editing done today since I’ll be on an all-day field trip tomorrow (that I’d expected to be an hour and half or so).

Last 2 clients I signed have PARADISE in their title, the 2 manuscripts I'm currently editing both have a character named Sebastian, 2 read aloud family books in a row have a main character named Turtle. So much twinning happening!

Now that I know my DVR has enough room for the last of the Olympics, I can focus on the 2 proposals I’m trying to get out soon (and those final edits), the 2 new client manuscripts in my inbox (1 more coming soon), and the 3 books I need to read for book groups next week 😬😬😬😬

Fast forwarding through ski jumping tonight to get to the pairs free skate so my DVR doesn’t explode

Tonight it’s the men’s xc 7.5km relay and then speed skating and maybe some slopestyle might be after that? (Still on early Sunday coverage)

Olympics on the back burner as we are editing today!

Tonight it was book group and now it’s the men’s free skate

Tonight it’s Klaebo in the men’s xc 10 k, then the women’s snowboard cross, then bed

I’m watching the women’s snowboarding halfpipe final and I think it’d be cool if they played whatever music the athletes are listening to so we can hear what amps them up

Tonight it’s Jessie Diggins in the individual xc skiing 10k, then snowboard cross and then bed

Break from the Olympics to do some editing with my editing helper

Thanks @adamreisinger.com for getting me psyched and prepared for the skating events at the Olympics! 🙌⛸️

Staying on the couch with this snuggler but taking an Olympic break to watch the women’s Aussie Open final

It’s an Olympics watching weekend (so much to catch up on!)

Late night Olympic catch up

I am so very tired but how am I supposed to go to bed when I have so many hours of the Olympics to watch?

Actually trying to work instead of watching the Olympics but this guy…

Sorry #amquerying inbox - I’m watching more Olympics than I should be (but less than I want to be!)

Late night editing because I spent way more than my allotted time watching the Olympics today

Omg I love the Olympics so much 😭😭

Ok thanks subtitles 🤣

Limiting myself to one glass of wine tonight

Omg I forgot the Olympics start tonight (and I still have 7 matches of the Aussie Open to watch); I will not be meeting my inbox/editing goals but you will be getting more photos of me on the couch with my cat

Editing distraction
