Author Michael La Ronn presents an interesting argument on whether it is worth the expense for writers to hire a developmental editor. Watch this video with an open mind: the author engages in a fair and cordial way with those who disagree, both in the video and the comments.

Here are a list of ways you can ENJOY BEING A WRITER! ✨👩‍💻 🌿 Write what you want. 🌿 Enjoy what you’re working on. You’ll finish your draft before you know it. 🌿 Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. 🌿 Define what success means to YOU. This looks different for everyone, so you need to learn to define it for yourself! 🌿 Marvel over your own creativity. 🌿 Accept that first drafts suck. The revision and editing process is for correcting your draft’s suckiness! 🌿 TRY! No matter what is is, try. Because you’ll never know unless you try. 🌿 Give yourself time instead of forcing words on the page. Listen to your creative mind. 🌿 Finish your draft before you edit/revise. You’ll go bananas if you go back and forth between writing and making corrections. 🌿 Maintain a healthy balance of what works for you. • • #writerscommunity #bookeditor #freelanceeditor #bookeditorslife #bookeditors #amediting #bookediting #bookedit #proofreader #bookeditingservices #proofreading #proofreadingservice #developmentaleditor #developmentalediting #lineedit #lineeditor #lineediting #contenteditor #contentediting #copyediting #copyeditor #copyeditorsofinstagram #copyeditorlife #writingtips✏️ #writingtips101 #writingtipsandtricks #writingtip #authorcommunity #writerwarnings #writersblock https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKJ3TOvTf5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was a bit embarrassed to call @honeyistheknifebook a self-help book at first. “Great, now no one will ever take my writing seriously and all my PhD friends will be like 🙄” But, after some time it was like girl—stop: @honeyistheknifebook is a self-help book. *Alternative* self-help, but self-help nonetheless. I always wanted to see a self-help boom that was zany and complex and delightful and not going to tell me that the key to my happiness was a set of affirmations and an amethyst. I wanted to see self-help that lived in reality. I’ve read some terrible self-help. Books so tone deaf they make Tucker Carlson look quaint. But I’ve also read some amazing self-help guides. Sisters of the Yam, C*nt, Radical Compassion, Shadows on the Path… @honeyistheknifebook places my experience at center: a nerdy, hyper-sensitive Black second generation woman—not because it’s the only experience (lol) but because the more specific you get, the more you expand into stories beyond the self. My story is unique—but it is not special. I want to be loved just like you. I want to love just like you. I want to be free like you want to be free. I want to hope like you long to hope. I struggle just like you. @honeyistheknifebook is my love letter to all our gorgeous, messy selves. It’s on the way…. • #hannaheko #honeyistheknife #bookcoach #developmentaleditor #writingcoach #selfhelpbook #selfhelpbooksforwomen (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cat8nfRLosO/?utm_medium=tumblr

What the heck IS a developmental edit, and how scared should you be about getting one? 🤔😱

Dev edits are a fantastic way to dig into the details of your story (e.g., plot, character, worldbuilding) and get comprehensive feedback on where things are working and where there's room for improvement.

Talk is cheap, though, so in this week's episode of Bardic Fool's Editing Advice for Writers, I'm actually going to show you what a dev edit looks like. I promise it's not scary at all! 😉

When I look at black women, I see a complicated dance of beauty, creativity, ingenuity, bravery, and compassion. I’m so happy that in this time and space continuum, when I could’ve been anything, I was made into a black woman. As a black woman, we are often in resistance. Honey is what helps me love and live with more ease. I used to think honey came from denying pain. Or that someday, I’d magically be rescued into another life. I used to believe I had to be perfect or do BIG things. I wrote @honeyistheknifebook during a pandemic, on the heels of what could’ve been a total nervous breakdown. I was back living at home, reckoning with all the ways I’ve tried to outrun myself through rejection and overwhelm. I was meeting all the ways I ignored my own truth in place of someone else’s. I know that the journey of coming home will not be over until I take my last breath. We are on the frontlines of gender, racial, and anti-human wars that will outlast us, even as we make tremendous gains and progress. We are not an easily defeated entity, us black and woman. But we still deserve to dance. This is what Osun and her honey teaches me, what she can teach all of us. I am no Ifa initiate. My Yoruba is meh. I do not carry the precise dance moves of Janet, nor was I blessed with the vibranium knees of Megan Thee Stallion. But I do have a dance in my soul. And so do you. • #hannaheko #honeyistheknife #bookcoach #writingcoach #developmentaleditor (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CafeaOBPgdJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
