I would love to take some notes on this manuscript. But Percy says no. So I'll just be here waiting for her approval to get work done.

Just like writing, the solution to a tricky edit often comes just as I'm drifting off to sleep. Here I am scribbling all the thoughts I had last night so that I can take them to the manuscript I'm editing.

#TIL: There are glow-in-the-dark bubbles. File this knowledge under "you never know what you'll learn on any given day as an editor." It's one of the aspects that makes it fun, even after 20-plus years.

In the past week, project revisions have collided with active projects, so in one week, I worked on books about the religious lives of women in prison, music librarianship, and race in West Africa.

Apparently I'm so no longer use to meet people IRL that I chock on food at the first meeting with an author and need to be rescued. Now it is going to be awkward to reject his next paper.😉

The tree is up for the season! This year feels extra special — I haven’t put up my tree since 2018 because of three moves, losing my job, the pandemic, and various other reasons. This feels like I’m finally home. #EditorsLife #WritersLife #Christmas #Solstice #home

some "lost in translation" moments while editing papers make me smile...

Another reviewer requiring 16 additional references for the introduction of the paper. You'll never guess what the 16 papers have in common 😑 #EditorsLife
