Tied to her laptop
The copy editor addresses language.
How to gracefully ID a writer
Whose first book has the same title
As his blog.
How to spell Uyghurs (or Uighurs).
Should she leave that list of names
In all caps,
Or normal upper and lower case?
Which version of the story she was sent
Is the one she should work on?
After an hour of work,
She takes a break,
Goes for a walk,
Stops for a Covid test,
Just in case.

I’m participating in the 15th annual Slice of Life Challenge over at Two Writing Teachers. This is day 8 of the 31-day challenge. It’s not too late to make space for daily writing in a community that is encouraging, enthusiastic, and eager to read what you have to slice about. Join in!
Oh, that "stops for a Covid test" brings us back to ground like nothing else!
