#Editing some older work and forgot that I described a cult high-priest at the climax of a murderous summoning ceremony as “chanting and laughing and just generally self-actualizing.” #game#writing
@sebzurcher My friend, I edited my last short in After Effects because it was the only software I had ever used before. I'm fairly certain I shaved a few years off my life in the process.
@AshleyMarineP damn! We switched company wide to resolve in 2018 and never looked back. We were editing in Premiere before that and it was a huge pain 🤣. Can totally relate…
The Wikidata community edited Wikidata 2 billion times!
Wikidata is, to the best of my knowledge, the first and only wiki to cross 2 billion edits (the second most edited one being English Wikipedia with 1.18 billion edits).
Edit Nr 2,000,000,000 was adding the first person plural future of the Italian verb 'grugnire' (to grunt) by user Luca.favorido.
Ich habe langsam das Gefühl, dass der #NaNoWriMo ein #editing Monat wird. Statt zu schreiben, sitze ich am Layout meines ersten Romanes, der das Licht der Welt erblicken wird. 🦋
The nice thing about having a strong grasp of English grammar is that #editing becomes much less of a guessing game. The better you can articulate why something is or might be wrong, the better.
Finished the re-edit (I hope). Now have two of my pre-ARC team checking the new text for anything the editor missed.
Some absolute howlers in that first edition of Emerald Lightning.
Pandemic related. Couldn’t get the usual team to work on it, and it shows. #WritersCoffeeClub#writingcommunity#editing
Incoraggio e conforto la tirocinante perché la gerarchia e il nonnismo fanno cagare e le persone hanno bisogno di sentirsi accolte e valide, capaci di apprendere dai propri errori e migliorare.
I have an empty desk. Anyone need an editor urgently? I can offer pretty fast turnaround while waiting for another project to come in. #Editing#AmEditing
Shaved off 458 words in today's jumble of edits! Part of that was an old plot point that I loved at the time, but now I'm just "meh" on it. More changes like that are sure to follow.
I was also tempted to "find and replace" third person pronouns for first person, but a quick skim told me that wasn't possible without further confusion. Plus I get to fix things along the way, so it's worth it in a way.
Un applausone al collega che quando deve darmi una mano fa un lavoro pessimo, non corregge i refusi, lascia parole singole su rigo finale, mi spampana l'impaginazione e in generale fa tutto in fretta e all'acqua di rose perché non ha sbatta.
We went on a food tour of Athens today, and ate sooo much. But of course my favorite was the baklava! Also wrote another 1500 words on chapter 3 of The Spores of Wrath! #editing#amwritingfiction
