What will you do with the stickers?

@darthbluesky.bsky.social This is Buddy on a rock in the Spokane River.

Whew!

Hurrah for you!

Bless past me, who sent them before I got on the plane to go to the CIEP conference.

It's fun to present to editors. They're so smart and receptive. #CIEP2024

Thank you! I've done the Zoom version and I think it went well (I've never presented on Zoom before; it's an odd feeling to tell a joke and hear nothing in response!). I got to walk around some yesterday. After the conference I'll be joining my husband for a few days in London.

Yes! Doing what you’re ‘supposed’ to, rather than what works for you, isn’t the same thing as pushing yourself out of your comfort zone – and it can be exhausting and counterproductive. Remember to be you, not someone else! Thanks for the encouraging talk, @eagleeyeeditor.bsky.social#CIEP2024

Yes, thank you!

Another interesting point from Rob Drummond's talk at #CIEP2024: If you have someone change the way they say one particular sound, they'll also change other sounds, and their whole bearing changes, because of all the associations we have with how people speak.
