Style prediction: The semicolon is about to make a big comeback from people who are avoiding using an em dash because it's associated with AI-generated writing. #amediting #copyediting

One of the most common AI phrases I see in blog content I edit: “X isn’t just about Y, it’s Z.”

As in: “Grocery shopping isn’t just about buying food, it’s a smart investment in your health.” (Yeah, these constructions *often* aren’t parallel constructions LOL)

This is such a fascinating interview. I love how Garret and Michelle talk about the story structure for Challenge Accepted episodes. It pays off—you can tell in the final product. Impressive af!

That's the "expectations."

The reality: Also in October is a celebration of life for my best friend’s dad, who was also a close friend and family to me. And my husband is in four grad school classes while working full time with 4:30 a.m. shifts. I'm exhausted. It's gonna be...a month lol. 🫠

Happy October! 🍂🎃 I’ve got a busy month: finishing up an urban fantasy book #copyedit, #proofreading a self-help book, starting a dev edit of a fantast novel, and #editing lots of blog posts in between.

Also it's just hilarious how the most hero Hero started his game by stealing other people's shoes. Rupert's got more in common with Russell Hantz than he'd want us to think! 💀

My theory on why Jake is doing the Shoe Bandit thing:

Was the cast shown Pearl Islands at Ponderosa pregame? Multiple people mentioned it in their pregame interviews, and the tribal council theme is shipwreck. Shoe Bandit feels very Rupert-coded! youtu.be/-Mm0SCMbkow?... #Survivor #Survivor49 #RHAP
