The proofreader left a note reading, I quote, “if you haven’t ever heard someone say this in real life, then it’s probably not gonna work.”
It's a good note, but I also have to laugh at the assumption that one would have enough experience to say whether or not someone might have said this in real life before 😂
(Just the same word for energy as in Guardian; do you think they sell 黑能量棒 down in Dixing?)
Dark-energy-infused food, now that's a thought. Or maybe any edibles left too long outside in the dark energy heavy air of Dixing just automatically becomes a dark energy bar...
So much easier to write than to revise.
Truer words *sigh* I'm waiting to hear back from my editor for an anthology short story and I already dread the inevitable 'this needs more plot and less vibes' comment.
