@lukefinleyedit Sometimes Word is also tired and emotional. I recommend a break for you and refraining from throwing the entire computer out a window or something.

@scottrsraphael Good point. I wonder now too. I’ve been into novellas and short stories lately and didn’t make the connection. That said, book series seem to still be going strong. Maybe it’s a genre thing?

@jaime_dill @irisninkeditor @reachwriter It means giving the readers the material and allowing them room to interpret that. For example, the author can tell the reader that a character is upset. Or the author can show a character getting short and snappy after someone cuts them off for the sixth time in a row.

@etherealconduct Understanding of cultural references is definitely one of those specific qualifications that will help both you and the editor decide if they’ll be a good fit for certain projects—excellent question!

@SyntellSmith I always advocate for getting to know your editor as well as you think you need to. They will be handling your work; it's a very personal (to you) task, and it does save you the headache of being burned later. It also helps us editors out. We want to be sure we're a good fit!

@asrs_williams log into his email. “If it’s important enough, they’ll call me.” “No one calls anyone anymore!” M insists. “You have to—“ Mr Levain drops a pile of stamped envelopes into M’s hands. “I don’t understand why you children are so afraid of phone calls.”

@asrs_williams M and Zoe have 3 different conversations in 3 apps. Their texts turn into paragraph-long notes, complete with footnotes referencing to a convo in another all. Their cubicles are right next and M, 2 months into the job, took the partition down between them. Mr Levain refuses to +
