In the throws of essay writing (boooooo tomato tomato tomato) and getting a crappy first draft out is so much easier knowing my editor (bf) will make my writing better simply by being able to see the good stuff/potential through the crap 🥳 took me a while to understand the power of a good editor but I got it! And think everyone should have one too!!

I always want to improve my writing, so this feels like fate! With college application season coming to an end, I realized how much I enjoy giving my friends constructive criticism on their writing. Like, I genuinely enjoy it so much, and I feel it’s helped me become more aware of my own writing habits I need to work on^^

writing can be so delightful once you've found your voice
and i love editing other people's work and trying to get their voices to come through
i also love getting people to reject correctness
i can't tell you how to do it right but i can tell you how to make it good

Think: driving them to the airport during rush hour, moving furniture on a summer day, (in my case, see photo) cutting away at their badly overgrown garden when you are not a gardening gal. Or painting their bedroom on a whim, replacing their windshield fluid, or wrangling their demon cat for a trip to the vet.
I read a Manrepeller article (RIP) years ago that talked about how helping friends with these tedious, unrewarding tasks is where the real work of friendship begins. You don’t get so see how they get frustrated over brunch, but you do when you’re both unsuccessfully dragging a couch around a staircase corner, and getting To bond and troubleshoot that frustration opens whole new doors for closeness. This wisdom has never led me astray! I almost always leave these kinds of labor-based hangouts feeling closer and more held in friendship!
