A screenshot of the DaVinci Resolve video editing software interface. The timeline is filled with multiple tracks of video and audio clips. The preview monitor shows a dark, eerie basement scene from a horror game with a streamer's face cam in the bottom right corner.

Friday’s video is currently 50% horror and 50% me questioning my life choices while staring at timelines. 💀🎬

The jumpscares hit way harder when you have to watch them frame-by-frame 100 times. Can’t wait to show you the final cut on YouTube this Friday!

I feel so anxious about this sample edit. I don't know why, I'm a bomb ass editor.

I just am 🥺

Like, half of me says "You've got this!" and the other half...not so much.

Ughhh #editorlife

Ever wonder what a day in the life of an editor with an annoyingly needy (but cute) cat would be like? Well here it is! Now you know what it’s like when you send me your manuscript.

authors, when you're asked to check the pdf of your submission, it's to avoid that shite...

I think Percy is getting too comfortable in her life of crime. Now she is stealing my heating pad while I’m using it!

Word 365's grammar checker suggested I change "After this is done, you assholes are buying me a new one" to "After this is done, your assholes are buying me a new one."

Okay this one had me cracking up. #editorlife #amediting

I impose “back seat” as a noun and “backseat” as an adjective. (As much as I impose anything.) “Backseat” makes as much sense to me as a closed compound noun as “wisdomtooth.” #EditorLife

It always gives me pleasure to click the "Accept" button for manuscripts in @ica-papers.bsky.social

Meanwhile, there are 140 pieces left in the submission pile for Bad Romance that I haven't read yet. I had hoped to finish by March 1, but that's 20 pieces a day!

You read a lot slower when you're the final editor, I'm learning. #editorlife

If I had a nickel for every time TWO books I've worked on were in Best Of Year Lists I'd have TWO NICKELS, but it's weird it happened TWICE. #kidslit #editorlife #graphicnovels #gnrt

The realisation that some writers do not check their emails regularly/daily - and the reminders are going unread!

Elon Musk and the issue with his Grok-blocking tweaks The Grok undressing controversy led to outrage and a renewed debate about how governments here and around the world can regulate a rapidly evolving technology.

I love a clever headline... #EditorLife 😉

The small things that make me squee and smile:

When authors/writers rise to the occasion and do their best in their edits - and their stories become so much stronger, better.

#editorlife

💻Anyone else feels this way when editing?
😂The mystery is a lot of work but I love it! Thank you for helping me out!!!

Working in culture doesn’t exactly make you rich, but when your job is editing a new edition of Moby Dick in your own language, you realise you haven’t made all the wrong life choices after all. 📚🐋

Paw over face… Zero shame. I guess this is what burnout looks like in post production.
She still refuses to work unless paid in treats and scratching sessions 😻
