🙃 Getting up from my desk for the first time in hours. #DontDoThis #TakeBreaks
Got super-immersed in my latest Gonna Need A Bigger Boat editing project, as I found more t̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶s̶ problems all the way down in the manuscript. (The author has succeeded in making the Marvel Universe look straightforward in comparison to their storyline. Kind of a feat!)
Now for a walk/stretch/exorcism of whatever's been living in my corpse today, and time to revisit that newsletter draft. 🤞🏻
Then back to the boat.
A few years ago I edited a novel for an old high school friend who had never written a thing before. Jane Eyre fan fiction. Yes. I do know why I took it on, but I don't know how I survived. (It was worth it in the end.)
Take care of yourself. 🧡
Oh, you are a good friend. 😅 I'm reminded of the writing club in Anne of Green Gables, where Diana gets impatient and just kills everybody off in her stories. Easy peasy, compared to some of the twists and turns others take with their prose!

Story Club! 💗 More sex than death in this alternative JE, but yep. 😂
