Self, editing usually implies that something ends up on the cutting room floor, not that you'll suddenly bump your wordage up from 44,000+ to 50,000+ #iamwriting (Actually I am staring at my rough draft document. That's almost like writing.)

YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES.

Happy #Caturday, from Morty. 👀🐈‍⬛🖤 #VoidCats

Always have a notebook. #writing.

Self-Promo for my serial, Lord of the Black Mountain! Recently re-re-re edited! In which a wedding night assassination attempt results in Canon College Setting. www.royalroad.com/fiction/6233... 📚💙

#Editing has reached the end stage. (there are a few embarrassing pov shifts that need cleaning up.) I am currently re posting to Royal Road. (I will probably not be reposting the Patreon Early Chapters. The changes are not big enough.) #iamwriting

Woo hoo, I finished edits, now I need to go back over everything and see what I missed. Then I get to copypaste it all back onto Royal Road.

Still working on edits! #writing I ended up sleeping in late because I stayed up until stupid-o-clock. (TBF I have been going mostly nocturnal due to the heat.)

seconded!

THE ACKROOMS

OMFG. Whyyyyyy.

I am attempting to read J.T. "Does not know women are human" McIntosh's _The Fittest_. The set up: experimental sapient animals decide to destroy human civilization. The opening is about a thousand times more disturbing than when I was maybe ten or so. 💙📚

🚨BREAKING🚨 More than 600 workers at Hachette Book Group just voted overwhelmingly to unionize, creating the largest union in trade publishing history! newsguild.org/hachette-boo...

...I have to fix all the "Your Highnesses." because I forget how titles work. #writing Second day of attempting to fix problems and creating new ones as I edit! (Note: complaining is self mockery, not resentment toward someone pointing out problems.)

Rawwwrgh! *charges water bottles*

Frog and Toad jumped into the water. They swam all afternoon. Frog swam fast and made big splashes. Toad swam slowly and made smaller splashes.

Make EVERY Vote Count

I have to go through forty thousand or so words, and shift everything to the right tense, and essentially rewrite entire scenes. Catch typos and probably create entirely new ones! Grammar was not my best subject *and you can tell* #writing

I like writing present tense, and yet I still end up shifting between past and present. >_< I blame fan fic, text roleplay, and #Homestuck, and "Homestuck Second Person." #writing

I HAVE TO EDIT THE ENTIRE MAIN DOC. AGAIN #iamediting #iamwriting So I am editing Lord of the Black Mountain. Again. Because of helpful line edits that were occasionally wrong, but do point I didn't emphasize marriage customs clearly enough. Among other issues.

I love getting line edits from unknown commenters who are apparently enraged by "lurching between past and present tense." Then there's the utter joy of having to explain, AGAIN that the marriage ceremony involved BOWING three times. #iamwriting #iamkvetching

we are the in the dumbest timeline.

‘In the white imagination, Native Americans existed in the past tense. What survived of their cultures was imagined as static and inflexible.’ @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social on America before 1776. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Today is not quite that bad, but it is hot out and I did not get any sleep last night.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

There has been a few 💥 already. I seem to be more agitated about them than Honey.😆 Also, there was a very loud low flying plane. Which again was more freaky for me than for Honey. #puppy

New friend's name is Honey. She is both a gremlin and a very good girl. She knows come, sit, lie down and occasionally "wait." However she still hasnt figured out potty training. #puppy

Me on tik tok, and hears a Spooky Appalachian Story of Spookiness Something That Called Protagonist From the Forest, And You Are Never Ever Supposed to Answer Back, But Protagonist Did So The Thing From The Forest Followed Her Home:... #booksky

TFW you are looking through your webnovel, and see that there is a whole section missing, in both your main draft and on Royal Road. #iamwriting (because apparently I just leave a thought in mid-sentence.)

WHAT'S SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL YOU SAW RECENTLY?

OMFG. They're reprinting Octavia Butler's Survivor which was part of her Patternist sequence, but she removed it because she disliked it as a "Star Trek novel" (meaning, I think that it has a relatively quick fix in comparison to her other works). I am extremely ambivalent about this. 💙📚

With the assumption that the Basic Income assumes you to be a home owner rather than a renter, I would buy a house with a yard. By preference in a city that's not in the middle of a desert.
