Carly Scott | Iris & Ink—Editor & Book Coach

In editing classes, I always heard (sometimes before anything else) that an editor needs to be considerate. Shape your comments to relate to the reader's experience. Be positive. SO my mind is always BOGGLED when I hear about some experiences with editors. BE KIND

@reachwriter So glad you had fun! (And hey miss you!)

What a fun show last night!

@einetogi @_LiteraryKat_ @jaime_dill You can do it!

I owe @irisninkeditor, @_LiteraryKat_ , @jaime_dill a lot of thanks for suggesting I move Philly into the present, instead of the past. It’s ripping a whole into her. Let’s hope her shame and guilt pour forth and can hold up the story. I’m 40 pages into a rewrite!!

@theedifyingword 🫂

@theedifyingword @DYork1979 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞💕

@reachwriter 😍

@irisninkeditor OMG! My sister just got a new goat. She has three now!

@reachwriter for your birthday enjoyment

@reachwriter HAAAPPPPPYYYY BIRTHDAY

Nice to know Musk hasn't COMPLETELY ruined Twitter yet. At least we still have balloon day! 🎈

@theedifyingword Yes!

@reachwriter I like the “zen” one from Tazo. I like the mint and lemon addition

I dunno what brand of green tea this is, but it sucks. Does anyone have a favorite green tea they can recommend? Loose leaf or bags. I have like half a dozen ways to brew tea at my disposal, so any style is acceptable.

We've all felt it. What do you do with writer's block? Over at @InksenseAcademy we break down different shades of blockages and walk you through them. It MIGHT even be the theme of a freebie upon launch @jaime_dill @reachwriter

@theedifyingword ☹️🫂

@CMKehSTORIES Does it help? Is it even the big problem? Or is it really a term to befog the writer and cloud the real issues?

@irisninkeditor Multiple levels of victimization.

Who here feels like they've been personally victimized by show don't tell?

@joyful_kay Right? Like writers need more friction and tests-of-resilience/persistence/sanity

@LottieNewings Yes! it is a lot of obfuscation. Who can actually provide a full-yet-concise definition? Is it really understood? Does it really do what it is supposed to?
