The building consumed a lot of my time today. Le sigh. That’s the way it goes sometimes.

In much, much happier news…I am a CERTIFIED Story Grid Editor! Boooom 🙂

What does that mean? It means that I’ve formalized certain skills that can be used to improve and/or complete a manuscript.

The first is called a manuscript diagnostic, which is a step-by-step analysis of story that produces clear, actionable steps for improvement.

The second is an ongoing weekly session of developmental editing.

And I’m using this shit myself, people. I’m going to finish Starstuff II: The Wrath of the ‘Stuff with a fellow Story Grid colleague. And I know it’s going to work. Because at times, we ALL need an outside voice to help us bring our stories across the finish line.

That’s all I got for y’all tonight. I’m tired, and tomorrow is another day. Another wonderful day.

Night!
