Having my particular brand of neurodynamism means doing a regular schmegular thing like watching Revolutionary Girl Utena and having this one image give you a nearly fully formed dark mystery novel concept in 0.29 seconds. #MakeItMakeSense 🤦🏿‍♀️🤣 #BookSky #ADHD

As an author, I'm flattered some clients think I have the bandwidth to (1) steal, (2) develop, & (3) publish their manuscript under my name when I already have a Trump's-ego-sized pile of my own work to publish. They think I'm superhuman, & I appreciate their faith in my time-management skills. 🥰

#WeeknightWriters | I'm nervous seeing the word "force" here! :D If what you've been doing is comfortable, affordable, and getting you the results you're looking for, there may be no need to change anything. Just keep that in mind! 🫂

#WeeknightWriters | Back when I was still practicing, it could sometimes help to sort of "fake it until you make it." For example, a client might say their mood improved when they went on their daily run, but a flare up of [insert MH condition here] meant they hadn't run in days.

#WeeknightWriters | Making it. 🤷🏿‍♀️ Having a writer with a wonderfully done manuscript hire me for a manuscript evaluation prior to her next round of querying has been awesome. It's a queer fantasy that mixes elements from a lot of work I've enjoyed before (The Hobbit, A Dark and Drowning Tide, etc.).

Need an editor you don't have to book MONTHS ahead of time (service begins immediately upon hire!), you don't have to save up to hire (if you've got $1 USD, we can get started), and who is practically "untriggerable" (bring me all the gross, sexy, traumatic content you got!)? Here I am! #BookSky

So often, patience and education go a much longer way than dismissive ridicule and ostracization. That is, *IF* the editor's goal is to help the writer see things differently and make different future decisions. #BookSky

Thanks for commenting, @skyladachi.bsky.social! These notes may clear up your confusion. Remember that some folks are hiring because they don't want to learn how to be an editor and think someone with concrete skills and more experience will do a better job.
