Happy Story Time: My mom rarely acknowledges my job as "real." She'd rather I be an English teacher.

So when she thanked me for being an editor because the book she was reading on Kindle had a bunch of basic grammar errors...

It was a big moment for me 🥺 editors are needed and appreciated #editing

Colson Whitehead

@colsonwhitehead.com

Realized I was writing about a mid-70s exploitation theater and not an early 60s one, so I substituted “Vampyros Lesbos” and “Shriek of the Mutilated” for “The Flesh Eaters” and “Two Thousand Maniacs!” #editing #factchecking

That started out starting "The thing about demeaning language is" and I was alert enough to realize that that wasn't going to work but too sleepy to find my way to "When you demean language, language gets its" etc.

Marvin asks where the line is, in my WIP - the third book in The Future King series, Pendragon #AmWriting #WIPSnips #BookSky #KingArthur #ArthurianLiterature #YA #Fantasy #Merlln #Arthur #WritingCommunity #Editing

‘You’re going to accept, aren’t you? You wouldn’t be telling me all this if you hadn’t already decided, Arthur.’ Marvin’s grey eyes were stormy under the cerulean sky. ‘You could quit your library job and would have more time to do your homework.’ His eyebrow quirked. ‘Don’t look so surprised. I understand the appeal. I also know you’re aware of the downsides. New National will never stop offering things that are too good to refuse. A promotion, a raise, or even a university scholarship. Will you have reason enough to say no then?’ Arthur pursed his lips, knowing that every word Marvin said was true. ‘It’s been a long summer; a lot’s changed. But consider this.’ Facing him, Marvin stopped by the corner of the sports hall. ‘As time passes, and New National entangles you further, will you still know how to look for the line?’
Arthur stood rooted to the spot as Marvin set off again, his hands loosely hooked behind his back. When Marvin realised he wasn’t being followed, he turned to observe Arthur with a frown.
‘It’s your choice, Arthur. You’re seventeen now. May as well start making your own decisions and stop relying on me to tell you what to do.’
‘I don’t rely on you to tell me what to do,’ Arthur said, affronted. ‘But,’ he added with a smile, ‘I do value your opinion.’
Marvin observed him steadily. ‘Remember then, that the more you entangle yourself with New National, the harder it will be for their opposers to separate you from them. New National won’t be here forever. Not if I have anything to do with it.’
Arthur gazed after Marvin as he turned his back then continued his patrol of the school grounds, their discussion over.

If you've written and published books before and editing this one is hard:
- drink some water
- take a walk
- get some sleep
- refill the well
- remember every book is a new book and editing is still work
- you've got this

#PostProcess #Subtraction I pulled the scene in to just the section with signs, saturated the signs, desaturated and darkened everything else. I did miss one and I'll give you a cookie if you don't bring it up. @rjrock.bsky.social has info on the challenge.

GPT-5 Photo Editing
The first shot is one of my favorite *missed shots. A Robin flying with a Red Kite, unfortunately this scene happened just outside of my focal range. So, I asked GPT-5 to increase quality and focus.The second image is what it came up with.🤪 #photography #editing #wildlife #gpt-5
