My method of #AmWriting and #AmEditing through series of cycles (or spirals) to refine a #Manuscript over time. It even comes with fancy charts and videos! 😘

You wrote something.

You felt it was good.

But it didn’t hit.

That’s not your fault.

It just needs refinement.

Word's UK spelling and grammar checks have got worse recently. V frustrating to correct errors that would be acceptable in US English but unacceptable in UK English, and be warned of a 'word choice error'. (Yes, the language is set to English UK...) #AmEditing

I wasn’t sure I’d have anything even close to rampant. Which feels surprising? #WIPSnips #amwriting #writingcommunity #amediting #amrevising #writesky #YA #NA #fantasy

Liza was very communicative during the entire process, which was incredible. She handed me ideas that gave me a specific direction for revising, and I could see the vision of the second draft clearly. She helped put all the puzzle pieces together and fix multiple issues that I knew my MS had but couldn't figure out how to fix on my own. I can't speak highly enough about her edits. [Book title] is going to evolve and become something better because of Liza’s insightful and skillful editing. If you’re in need of an editor for developmental editing, copy and line editing, or help with your querying package, look no further! 10/10 recommend. Nicole Ward testimonial Developmental edits, contemporary romance

Next up in my testimonial series is debut author Nicole Ward. She's working on an enemies-to-lovers sports romance set in the competitive world of esports. I worked with her on developmental edits and I can't wait to read her next draft!

How Everything in a Medieval Castle Worked, from Its Moats to Its Dungeons Very few of us have ever set foot near a genuine medieval castle, especially if we don't happen to live in Europe. Yet practically all of us still, here in the twenty-first century, refer with some frequency to their components in our everyday speech.

I would rather edit misspelled, grammatically incorrect, uneven human writing than waste my time on generic AI slop. Chatbots can help organize your ideas or create outlines for you, but please do the actual writing yourself. #amediting #writingcommunity #bookeditor

Two New Impersonation Scams to Watch For - Writer Beware Impersonation scams in publishing tend to be variations on a theme, since the goal is always the same: to sell you something. In that sense, the scams below, which are aimed at tricking writers into paying for editing, don’t break new ground. Still, the approaches are distinctive, and I’ve seen enough examples at this pointRead More

Today's bit of research is fur on 16th century cloaks (Flemish styles rather than English but there seems to have been a lot of crossover). Different fur was used to display rank and wealth.

D5. There are plenty of mind games, plus political game playing, gaslighting, and even mind control. But the only physical game in the story is a round of Backgammon, courtesy of some old timers drinking in a pub.

I’m not sure if I should start the readthrough of WIP 2 straight after finishing the readthrough of WIP 1.

There might be things I want to change/add to WIP 2, but it might be better holding off until I’ve done the timeline and added the new idea 🤔

Just saw a movie review: "Suspenseful, serialized drama."

COMMA USAGE #AmEditing

Without the comma, "suspenseful serialized drama" means a serialized drama that is suspenseful.

With it, it means "The two things I can tell you about this show is that it's suspenseful and it comes in parts."
