Sitting down with a 1,200-word proofread when my last editing task was an 80,000-word line edit and I'm having to steer my brain pretty hard over here 😂 @edibuddies #AmEditing

Romance writers (& editors), are you interested in gender as a craft tool & inclusion issue? I've just reposted my article ✨ Doing Gender on Purpose: Diversity, Depth, and Character in Romance✨ so that it's freely available. I hope you'll check it out, share it, give it a think :) https://www.eliotwesteditorial.com/gender-on-purpose.html

Folks who work on very long docs in Word using Comments: Is there anything I need to look out for? I’m about to start the longest project I’ve ever done in Word specifically and am slightly concerned I’ll get partway through & somehow explode the document. Wisdom? @edibuddies #edibuddies @editors #AmEditing

Knitter friends: I have a 5-mini-skein set of Wonderland's fingering weight yarn that belonged to my best friend when she died (her mom sent it to me to use). I want to make something special for myself to wear, probably a cowl or similar--but I get frustrated easily working with fingering weight and am still kind of wonky with grief. Do you have soothing-to-knit patterns that might work here? (It's 594 yards / 5 oz altogether.) @knitting #knitting @fiberarts

#WhatchaReading ? I'm actually working on a review (!) of Out on a Limb, by Hannah Bonam-Young, which I mostly loved. Also doing way too many buddy reads, including Montana Sky by Nora Roberts and A Passage to India. You know, for a change of pace. 😁

Curious about gender and language? Check out "Build Your Gender Diversity Toolbox," a resource roundup originally published through a professional org but now available for free at my website. Lots of good stuff to explore :)
