As an independent fiction editor, I sometimes encounter novel drafts that could benefit from more foreshadowing. This article has some good advice about leaving breadcrumbs throughout your story.

I need to make a good dent in the #RockStarRomance I'm currently line #editing. Putting that out there to keep myself honest and motivated today (always hard to focus on the last day of the work week).
Time for some music to keep me pumped up! For a first editing pass, it'll likely be #Reggae or #ElectronicMusic. I'll rock out during the second pass.
What music is motivating you today?

Look at this little cutie I picked up at Scranberry Coop in Sussex County, NJ. I love #dragons! They make me smile.
Since I edit a lot of #YAFantasy and #ParanormalRomance, I come across dragons frequently during my workdays. Glad to have my new buddy for motivation. #AmEditing #PNR

I'm finishing up a copyedit of a corporate newsletter this morning. When I'm done, I'll switch gears and copyedit a #YAFantasy with #LGBTQIA main characters.
In between, I'm invoicing repeat #IndieAuthor clients who are booking early 2023 editing slots and following up on inquiries from prospective new clients.
I love when my workdays have so much variety!
