Happy Monday HMF

Certainly less sad than Sunday.

hardcopy editing, proofreading my baby. I figured printing it out would be an easier way to spot any typos/glitches that need to be fixed, than staring at the screen.

So far, the editor seems to have done a bang up job. But I'm still fine-combing

Gotta trust the editor on this one.

Rewatched Erin Brockovich for my film club. Thing was funnier and ruder than I remembered.

Gotta trust the editor on this one.

On most things yeah, but there are a few moments where it wasn't necessary. Basically she's a generation or two older than me, so there's definitely some lingo confusion. I also don't like she's a stickler for common phrases that are said by multiple parties. It's not like it's a signature phrase said by someone and no one else is allowed to.

Then there's questions of hers where "are you going to explain the difference between zombie and ghoul?" and I'm like, "yeah, pretty clearly in this section of this chapter, early on, so the audience isn't troubled."

So, there's definitely a gap there

I'm also amused the editor didn't know what "lulz" is

You youngsters and your new fangled lingo!
