Transitioning Between the Home and the Home Office

Mardi juin 2, 2020

Amid all the Zoom calls and email threads, I sit in my makeshift home office staring at the dust collecting on the windowsill. We’ve entered into uncharted territory, yet every day looks the same.

The Performance of a Text

Mardi juin 23, 2020

If someone says, “How about some music,” and you say, “Sure — Beethoven’s Fifth?” do you think they’ll be happy if you just hand them a printed copy of the score? A musical score is intended to be performed, and you don’t have a performance without musicians, a conductor, and the stage and lighting crew. […]

Grammar Matters

Mardi août 25, 2020

Antecedents and gerunds. En dashes and ellipses. Gripping topics for editors, right? Well, it turns out they’re not gripping for all of us. As one of the admins for the Editors’ Association of Earth groups on Facebook, I read almost every post and comment (one group alone had 310 posts and 5,611 comments in a […]

Don’t Look Busy

Mardi mars 23, 2021

It’s a good thing I’m not working in-house anymore. I’ve been far too busy lately to look busy. Those of you who have worked in corporate environments know what I’m talking about: You can spend an awful lot of time and effort looking busy instead of getting things done. There are a few reasons for […]
