Day in the life of an editor: A thread! Check up on this thread throughout the day to see updates on what I've done for a behind the scenes look! 👀

8am PST: Had a nice chat with a new author trying to learn more about publishing & avoiding scams. Scammers often go after newer authors who may not know, so proper research and getting involved with a community can help so much in avoiding publishing scams.

9:15: Morning Walk! I try to go on a morning and/or evening walk daily if possible. Sitting at a desk/computer all day is very unhealthy so I do try to exercise however I can. Today I had enough spoons to take my morning 25 min walk!

10am: Editing! I've started editing for today! I'm working on the comments pass of this edit. This pass is where I go through the manuscript and edit or add comments for important things that I've flagged on my main editing pass.

12:30pm: Lunch Break! I'm taking a lunch break after about 2 hours of editing. I added and edited comments for about 40 pages and worked on the feedback letter/editorial report for this project!

😭 I totally forgot I was going to walk to the store this morning!

Oh no! Can you do it later or tomorrow? 🫂 I completely understand forgetting to do things.
