Today we get a treat from Harps, #StetPet editorial assistant of OR Guild member @wellreadedits.bsky.social. "Harps tends to take a hatchet to the projects she works on, leaving them a little bloody. Every once in a while, though, she gives a project the vampire’s kiss of approval."

We were featured on today’s #StetPet! 😁🩷

What she said ⬇️⬇️

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

My computer died after an OS update. My tech guy (husband) spent two days trying to revive it. It’s now with Apple, but it’s not looking good. I’m on a deadline and a replacement is two weeks out. 😔 Send wine. #AmNotEditing Update: Catastrophic memory failure. Computer is now a paperweight.

We always want to meet your animal editorial assistants and learn how they help you get through the day. Learn how to submit a photo and description of your buddy to be featured as a future #StetPet, and read the Furry FAQs at edsguild.org/stetpet.

Congrats to author Jean Grainger! Number 1 in numerous categories on Amazon! I’ve loved working on this series! ❤️

Take comfort from those you love.

I cannot emphasize enough that if you feel like everything is totally hopeless and fucked right now- that staying alive is enough at this moment- if that's all you have energy for. Take a day, take a week, grieve. Then sit down, gather your bearings & do what you need to do to keep moving forward.

I mean this with all sincerity; when you’re rested, help people who you can help any way you can so they can do that as well for others. reach out. anything helps. don’t sit back if you are able to do even one thing.

Have been super impressed by the experienced speakers and quality sessions at ACESVCon!
