Feels like a good moment to mention that I edit tattoos.

Before you get something permanently on your body, I will check to see if it says what you think it says, search for unintentional references, see if it looks like something else from a different angle, kerning...all of it.

Typing messages has become part of daily life. Unwritten etiquette urges senders to keep messages brief, respond promptly, and avoid all capitals, which can be interpreted as shouting.

If anyone is planning to do the #AScareADay October challenge (a story or poem a day, curated by yours truly!)...

I've made a little recording of the first day's poem - Robert Herrick's 'The Hag'

A nice quick listen (for fun or for the challenge) - enjoy!

Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth:

Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

A very weird thing about being an editor is reading an extremely intense scene, then having to pause to double-check whether "arm holes" is one word or two.

One, for anyone interested. #amediting
