Think AI's going to be putting human #editors out of business? I don't see it happening any time soon. Here's why.

I'm very excited to be sharing my #lesfic story featuring the three Furies / Erinyes taking care of unrepentant axe murderess Clytemnestra / Klytaimnestra.

Here is a cropped SFW preview of Clytemnestra as a shade, created by my brilliant illustrator Sinita. The full 18+ illustration will be limited to demigod level patrons ($10).

I've seen some questions about how to cite webpages or data the Trump administration has removed from government sites but that have been archived elsewhere, like on the Internet Archive.

This post has some examples from common citation styles: https://www.wordsbywes.ink/articles/usage/citing-archived-us-government-pages-and-data/

What does "CPD" mean to you? Today, at work, I've seen it refer to both "continuing professional development" AND "cable position device". (Separate texts!)

Oyster crackers are a PALATE cleanser.

Turpentine is a PALETTE cleanser.

I don't know what they use to clean wooden PALLETs.

I'm offering one-on-one support for fiction writers (at all levels, yes even absolute hobbyists) through a whole new range of coaching services! Please pass along to cool people who might be into it :) https://www.eliotwesteditorial.com/coaching.html

#AmEditing
#GUMmyStuff #AmE

In case you wondered:

ANALOGUE: something analogous to something else

ANALOG: not digital, an analog watch or clock. Analog tech uses constantly changing physical characteristics.

Compare to "dialogue/dialog," which are synonymous and interchangeable as nouns (-gue is the verb form, however), and to "catalog/catalogue" for which both forms are acceptable as either noun or verb.

Imma give you some hashtags I use in my editing posts, so you'll know what to expect.

#GUMmyStuff is Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics (spelling, punctuation, capitalization).

#AmEditing is the standard thing. I use that one when I'm actively working on a project. Sometimes. Maybe.

#SpellcheckCannotSaveYou is my creation from years ago, because it's true. Do not depend on any kind of "check" program. They're wonderful safety nets. They are not infallible. Why "cannot?" Because it's incapable of saving you. There's no volition, no "will" involved. It isn't that it will not; it straight up cannot. Can't. Not happening.

There are others I use for non-editing posts, like #LowCarb and #HarrisWalz2024. Self-explanatory.

And sometimes I make them on on the fly, for one-time use. #AmARebel

If y'all have space for some non-political reading, give my just-published #editing blog a gander. It features one of my favorite peers, Deb Eckerling.
