Me about a week ago: "Huh. I haven't booked much for January yet. But I shouldn't worry. This is always the case. It'll be fine. Right? Right?"
About ten clients this week: "Hey, do you have time to edit this in the new year?"
I will never learn that yes, it'll be fine. They'll come.

Haven't been on here for a while! Hi edibuddies! I just finished another gigantic manuscript on a heavy topic. It seems like these things tend to find me. I'm also taking the AI for editors course by Erin Servais, which as been insightful. What have you all been up to?

I was busy recently! I needed some time to recover from the contents of one larger manuscript I worked on (a book about WW2 crimes).
Thankfully, I also had (somewhat) lighter topics, such as trailing spouses and El Salvador's political situation. Never a dull moment, I guess?

Close to finishing a massive proofread on a PDF (not my favorite type of document to work on; I'm a copyeditor so Word is my go-to program, but it couldn't be helped this time). Thankfully, the mark-up tools in the Comments function make this a relatively painless task, although it still takes ages!
