Last time I was here, my mom named these mountains Sleeping Silas Mountain after Silas from #themooneyedones because it looks like someone sleeping at sunset. I’ll see you again next year, Silas. Back to the city I go… (at Butler, Tennessee)

I found some of my old editing work on a flash drive, and there was one novel which grabbed my attention and I immediately started screeching like a pterodactyl . Thankfully It never actually made it to publication because it was so bad, and the editor above me got fired for letting it get past the vetting process.
Mostly I’m just reading through it and cringing, but then I came across some of my own commentary at the side.
It starts out pretty tame. And yes, some people DO forget the names of their MC’s half way through a book. (Or the second chapter in this case, switching back and forth between Karen and Kate so much I eventually gave up.)
Then starts to become a little bit eeeeeh, and I have to make several of these changes and suggestions, mostly prompting for the language to be removed and rewritten entirely as it was VILE.
Then about chapter five I have lost my mind and well…:
this shouldn’t make me wish i was an editor but i wish i was an editor.
I just spat perfectly good coffee out.
I debated whether I should actually reblog this, because fucking Christ this ia horrible.
Okay who the fuck brought this back.
Notes like this are why I have to make a second pass through when I’m done editing to edit my comments, lol
@tiny-librarian, I have not, but I think I dodged working on one a couple years ago. Usually anything with ‘slut’ in the title that isn’t a gender studies work is gonna be solid reading.

I may be writing about Chinese magical beasts and gods and not pirates, but I can’t get enough of this music. Plus it gives me Hong Kong feels that I haven’t had in a long time. Antti Martikainen’s stuff is seriously amazing.
