Editing carries on! Apparently I am British. Why? Because I always, always, always write “towards” instead of “toward”. Which I learned, from my current editor, is a British thing. And the first pass-through editor changed all my “greys” to “grays”. I’m also in the habit of writing “blonde” instead of “blond”. 🤦🏻 Why do I do this?! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe it’s from being raised on my first book love, The Chronicles of Narnia? Besides my British-ness, I have to learn that 99% of the time there will be a comma before the word “too” and often before the word “though”. But I am always surprised when my editor tells me to *add* commas, since I become notorious with past editors for having *too many* commas. 🤦🏻🤷🏼‍♀️. Maybe I’ve started to overcompensate? 😉😆. Either way, I’ve learned some things about commas. Carrying onward! - Me, author (find me @ Westword Books on Facebook)

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

listen. listen to me so carefully right now. (if you're in the eclipse path/planning on viewing). please don't stare directly at the sun tomorrow. i am begging you - do not stare at it. if you got eclipse glasses off of amazon/other, please put them on in your house and make sure you can't see anything; if you can still see like regular sun glasses, they are not safe for eclipse viewing, you will burn your retinas, and we cannot fix that. eclipse glasses should be iso/ce certified, and aas (american astronomical society) approved. please make smart choices and protect your eyes. please.

I still have a hard time explaining my job to people since I myself am not sure how to explain it without getting weird. I am tasked with keeping a Database in order, enuring the entries are updated for billing and when people need to retire an entry we go through the process of removing the aforementioned entry.

That's it, that is my job. It sounds insane but I get paid to do that.

Essential Business Ethics and Practical Tips

In the business world, being ethical and following some smart tips can go a long way. Over the course of my career, I've learned several valuable business ethics and tips that have helped me in my career, and I think they'll help you too:

Always Be Honest When you talk about your product or service to convince someone, just be truthful. Don't exaggerate or make things up. Tell them what your offering can really do. Honesty builds trust.

Share Stories That Stick In meetings or talks, use short, interesting stories related to your business. People remember stories better than facts and figures. It makes your message more memorable.

Integrity Comes First If you realize your product won't benefit someone, tell them. Even if it means losing a deal, being honest builds trust for future opportunities.

Follow Up, but Not Too Much After you talk to potential clients, it's essential to follow up. But don't be too pushy. Give them some time, and then politely check in. It shows you respect their space.

Admit Mistakes and Make It Right If you mess up or can't deliver on time, admit it, say sorry, and explain why. Offer something to make up for it. This fixes the problem and makes you look responsible.

Stay in Your Lane Don't pretend to know everything. If you're not sure about something, tell your client you'll find out and get back to them. It shows you're honest.

Reply Promptly Don't leave emails unanswered for too long, even if it's just to say you need more time to respond properly. It's a sign of respect for their time.

Ask Before You Talk When making calls, ask if it's a good time to talk or if they'd prefer a later call. It shows you value their schedule.

Say Thanks End your emails with a simple "Thank you" to show appreciation for their time and attention. It's a friendly way to wrap up your message.

Following these easy-to-grasp principles and tips will help you in your business journey. Remember, being honest, respectful, and considerate in your dealings with others is the key to success in the business world.

*Spidey and the Sinister Six having their usual fight*

Doc Ock, landing a hit: You’re getting slow Spider-Man! Age finally catching up to you?

Spider-Man: You wish! I haven’t even hit my 30s! From those costumes I can already tell I failed to save you guys from those midlife crises! Sorry by the way.

Vulture: Watch it wallcr- wait… Did you just say your not in your thirties yet?

Spider-Man: Surprised that this spiders so young and spry? Well-

Electro: Dude I’ve been fighting you for at least 5 fucking years! How old even are you?

Shocker, joking cause he’s the only one who picked up no grown adult acts likes Spidey: Don’t swear in-front of the boy you don’t want him to pick it up.

Rhino: Christ! You’re tellin me I almost crushed some 12-year-olds skull all those years ago?

Spider-Man, regretting his quipping: I was not that young! Like just starting freshman year but-

Sandman, horrified as he’s the only one with a kid and dad instincts(as of my iteration): I could’ve killed a kid…

Shocker, genuinely curious: Are you even old enough to drink? Cruel to kill a man who ain’t had his first drink yet.

Electro: Please tell us you’re at least over 25 as of this fight. Hell, I’ll take over 21!

Spider-Man:….

Sandman, realizing just how young he really is: Oh my god.

Spider-Man: My birthday’s coming up soon so I guess it counts?

Doc Ock, exacerbated: It. Does. Not!

Vulture: What would your mother think if she knew her son was out here risking his life telling poorly constructed jokes?

Spider-Man, offended cause it quips slap: 1. My jokes are great 2. She and my dad are dead so-

Sandman, hysterical cause holy shit he almost killed a kid orphan: OH MY GOD!
