really revealing the fact that although I just made a 31 minute video on line editing, I am actually *deeply* terrible at proofreading and never spot typos
This is great timing. I just had one of those mornings where I drink some coffee and get a cool idea for a short story. Love seeing your editing process. Hope everyone has a great writing or non-writing weekend
The part where she's editing the short story with Covid content, the one where the guy just turned 40 and had just found his first gray hair, made me snicker a little. It reminded me of a post on Insta that i found where this teacher took pictures of the kids in her class writing about what it felt to be forty years old. I think one kid wrote something around the lines of, "I am 40. I am old and tired, and i use a cane and cannot walk up hills" something around those lines. Lol
Watching this as I proofread my novel excerpt for workshop. Having someone actively commenting on writing as you look over your own gives so many great tips on how to look at things objectively! You always come out with a video right when I'm in need; thanks again, Shae!
I would absolutely love if you started up this series again so much, it's helping me immensely with learning how I might line edit my current manuscript!
Shaelin, I enjoyed watching you edit these short stories and excerpts. I learned so much about how we can use prose as a tool to enhance the story. I loved the flash fiction story especially and I hope it gets published one day. I am currently writing a short story that I began yesterday. I love you
I would really like to take a course in grammar and copy-editing...would you recommend self-learning through books, or an online program...? Any recommendations?
hi! love your videos, I was wondering if you have some advice on different sentence structures, because I often feel like my writing gets repetitive with the noun+verb+other details every single time. thank you so much for this video :)
The "rule" about dashes at 4:37 doesn't hold for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and I like to keep this book as my guiding light for formatting. But I would still like to know where that rule came from! :)
This is so cool! Love your videos! I'm learning so much! I'm not native english, so writing is even more of a challenge. Can you recommend resources you used to learn how to line edit? Thank you!
@/Shaelin for the story about Amber and scary story stuff, I think the first-person view is a thought. Maybe italize it will be a better suggestion...? :)
@@ShaelinWrites oh wow, you took the time to respond, that's awesome. I've been watching writing videos all the time now and listening to them at work. They are helping me on my BL (gay) romance novel.
Sorry, I'm not able to take anymore at the moment! I did a call on my youtube community page a few months ago, but go enough submissions to do ten of these videos so I'm just working with those submissions for now.
@@ShaelinWrites haha! ;) you can do everything except copyedit ;);) That should be "set up" not "set-up". Second one is a noun. And you love verbs so much!
I wrote my first short story. WOOHOO. been with shailen since 9 years old. Now I'm 12. Lol
Congrats!! That's a huge accomplishment!
Yoo I'm 13! Going to start my first novel for NaNoWriMo, wish me luck!
@@sobble821 good luck!! I'm literally turning 14 in a few days
@@sumayyahkhan8897 Whaat I'm turning 14 in a month or so!
@@sobble821 omg really!! Bestie! Jk🤣
I do love the thumbnail typo, because if there is a video where it can exist, it is this.

"I love all line editing concepts equally"
(earlier that day)
"I don't care for proofreading"
this is the best comment i've ever gotten
@@ShaelinWrites Honoured
I feel like I learn so much watching you edit. This really inspires me to step-up my verbs when I write ✨

So happy it helped! Good luck with your workshop!

Shaelin - Your edits are interesting. I love how you freshen up the sentences. Thanks for this video.

Ohhh thank you so much for sending in your work!! I loved reading it!
I liked it alot :)
@Weston Mauricio EVERYONE EVERYWHERE IS REQUESTING ME FLIXZONE WHYYY.. are the movies and series free. Is it ALL movies and series
Great job!
I love these line exiting videos! I've been using your tips in my novel! Please make more!
Please do more of these!!
I was waiting for this!! I'm so happy you made another line editing video! Amazing advices slip through all the time. :)
Thank you for these line editing videos, they really get me in the headspace for a good writing session :)
Exactly
Thank you, your edits added depth without massive verbiage. 🤗♥️
These videos are so great. I love this section of your channel
This is incredible helpful. Thank you 💗
Thank you so much, this is so useful!! Please create another one---I'm even considering sending one of mine in! 😀
That was amazing!!!!! I love watching you edit ❤❤❤
i need this in my life right now thank you so much
also the sound of you typing is e v e r y t h i n g
Wow, this is a valuable teaching video. Thank you! (Keeping an eye out for how to improve dialogue--my Achilles heel)
I love this video concept ❤️
Love this; always here for this.
I love this book content.
I would really like to take a course in grammar and copy-editing...would you recommend self-learning through books, or an online program...? Any recommendations?
30 minutes of surgery and describe-as-I-dissect, with such tact and dexterity? Curious what's in that mug. Thanks so much for what you do.
it's just tea in the mug!
I also find editing soothing.

Very helpful! Thx!
love this - thanks!!
"Then" is used instead of "so" etcétera. Is a word to express something is MORE IMPORTANT than some other thing that happend before on the story...
What makes a short story scene different from a novel scene? I always feel like short story writing is an enigma.
This is so cool! Love your videos! I'm learning so much! I'm not native english, so writing is even more of a challenge. Can you recommend resources you used to learn how to line edit? Thank you!
I still remember the time
I feel like you could do these line edit videos as ASMR.
15:04 I assumed Amber was speaking .
Wai, where else do I follow you for future editing requests?
@/Shaelin for the story about Amber and scary story stuff, I think the first-person view is a thought. Maybe italize it will be a better suggestion...? :)
this was good
i want you to show me how to write a scrip
At 6:21 what did you mean by 'familiar'?
Familiar means it's a common phrase that might be cliche or just something that's been seen before.
@@ShaelinWrites Ah, I figured it might be, just wasn't sure. Thanks for the response.
Hey, can I send a small short story for line editing? You can obviously get to it when you want to, if you even want to get to it.😅
What application are you using?
it's just microsoft word!
@@ShaelinWrites Wow, it look so fancy. How do I access the line-editing functionality of word?
@@uglyluffy7815 you just turn on track changes! google docs (and most other word processors) have the same feature
What software is this?
It's just microsoft word!
Hi Shaelin
Yesssssss
Will you make another line editing video?
Yes! They just take a long time to edit, and I've been a bit swamped with work so haven't had the time, but I do plan to make more!
@@ShaelinWrites oh wow, you took the time to respond, that's awesome. I've been watching writing videos all the time now and listening to them at work. They are helping me on my BL (gay) romance novel.
@@ShaelinWrites I'd love to have a section of mine edited publicly, but it starts off a bit risqué. Not graphic, but still, ha.
💜
How do we send in a piece for a line edit consideration?
Sorry, I'm not able to take anymore at the moment! I did a call on my youtube community page a few months ago, but go enough submissions to do ten of these videos so I'm just working with those submissions for now.
You know how you get a deliciously gross and grotesque paragraph down, but it just doesn't want to go anywhere?
POst edit.. "she laid her head in lap as...."?
Do you do paid editing, or just freebies for the sake of content? Either way, I'm curious if you have info on this.
Not currently, but it's something I might set-up in the next couple of months!
@@ShaelinWrites haha! ;) you can do everything except copyedit ;);) That should be "set up" not "set-up". Second one is a noun. And you love verbs so much!
Do you edit professionally ?
Not at the moment, but maybe someday!
@@ShaelinWrites well you’re so helpful! Abby Emmons crushes my confidence and Jenna moreci is less focused on pros and style. You’re the best
@@ShaelinWrites btw can I read honey vinegar anywhere?
it's still in the editing phase so not yet, but hopefully someday when it's published!
First! I have no life 😃
URGGHHH you again I always try to beat you. My internet stopped me from being first
@@sumayyahkhan8897 Ah! I have a nemesis
@@rev6215 watch out!I'm coming for you 😂
this is THRILLING
@@sumayyahkhan8897 Our battle will be legendary 😃👍
Nice hair cut, though I like the earlier videos because of the longer hair 😊
Same
Sadly for you then the short hair is here to stay :)
Sister you look Beautiful in long hair, this is in my point of view. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Lost me at the politics..loved it until then.
I am so intrigued by how I lost you with the politics in a video entirely about line editing and not at all about politics
@@ShaelinWrites cuz hes triggered that donald lost
