A Blog? Why?

Why a blog? And why have a blog that is connected to a freelance editing business? 

Such great questions.😉

Firstly, I have a lot of thoughts on the movies and TV I watch, the music and podcasts I listen to, and the books I read. For example: 

• I'd really like to discuss the phenomenon of K-pop Demon Hunters (IYKYK)! 

• I just finished watching Stick on Apple TV and have so many thoughts on the characters of Santi, Elena, and Zero.

• I finally listened to Brat by Charli XCX, and ohmygoodness, it is such a self-reflective and introspective album. I think there is something to be said about how “Apple” grapples with intergenerational conflict while simultaneously being commodified as a TikTok trend. 

• I've been reading more books on finance, especially since starting this freelance business, and I have some thoughts on the genre. 

Additionally, I am noticing some recurring themes in the media across a wide variety of genre’s. I suspect it reflects changes in the zeitgeist. I think this is important to discuss because how we talk about things and the stories we tell shape how we understand ourselves, each other, and the world at large. It is worth taking the time to think deeply about them. 

Secondly, as I watch, listen, and read, I am often thinking about the writing and editing process. Since you, dear gentle reader, are on this website because you are looking for an editor, I think this blog could serve as a nice "vibe check," because you would gain some insight into my thought process. If that's a vibe you enjoy — great! If you're working on a project and need an editor, I look forward to hearing from you! And, if not, I hope you will keep me in mind for next time.

So that's the blog - part analysis, part personal reflections on media and storytelling. If you're into that kind of thing, welcome. And if you're working on a project of your own, I'd love to hear about it.
