I’m often asked to edit friends’ or coworkers’ writing, anything from emails to short stories to documentation. Recently, someone asked me how I edit. What am I looking for? How do I know what changes to make? That made me stop and think about what I’ve been doing semi-instinctually.
I didn’t understand the enthusiasm for home automation initially. Who could be so lazy that they can’t get up and turn off the lights like a normal person? The answer, it turns out, is me.
