Also an excellent joke about romance heroes and Henleys. #ACES2026

The speaker is advocating hardcore for mental well-being and selfcare. Not just in editing romance and horror, but in general. I’m here for it. #ACES2026

Boom! Horror and romance session time. #ACES2026

Couldn’t help myself. #ACES2026

Different hardware, same software.

At 9 a.m. ET, the Associated Press Stylebook editors will announce the most recent changes to AP style. I nabbed a front-row seat and will post said changes as quickly as I can type them. Will this be the year AP switches from two-word "health care" to one-word "healthcare"? A guy can dream.

Thank you to everyone who attended my session today! Your positive comments and enthusiasm made my day. And possibly my life. You all at the best. Extra thanks to @carolinavonkampen.com for her wonderful posts! #ACES2026 #ACEScaution

My advice: If someone insists on using an innuendo/weird thing, get it in writing so if readers complain, they get in trouble, not you LOL #ACES2026

Who should we look to instead? Beavis and Butt-Head Would this line make Beavis and Butt-Head go "Uh huh huh...you said X"? If it would make Beavis and Butt-Head laugh, double-check! #ACESCaution #ACES2026 #amediting #freelanceeditor #editorsky #editing

It me. Attend the session, you could win a prize 🏆! #ACES2026

Wooo!! First session I’m going to is Work-Life Chemistry 🧪. Let’s gooooooo! #ACES2026

Caught a misspelling of a Supreme Court justice’s name in proofs today, so that’s pretty cool. #AmEditing

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

Turn it on - Passions starts in 5 minutes. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Snickerdoodles are an underrated cookie.

Kind of wild to think that I’m presenting at ACES in two weeks. Whaaaaat?! #ACES2026

Found a “click here” in print proofs. Wow. #AmEditing

“…should get him an Oscar…” —> me: ummm…Oscars already happened. *two searches later* —> he did win the Oscar. SMH. Update your copy after awards season. #AmEditing

Hell yeah, I got to edit a story about extraterrestrials in sci-fi today. #AmEditing 👽

One of the coolest things I’ve gotten to work on this week (and last) is all the Artemis II stories. So much of the news cycle has been heavy and grim, this is joyful. Sadly no one has jumped on my “do a story about the Artemis plushie at Mission Control” idea. #AmEditing

whoops! sorry everyone. somehow Duke got control of this account. won't happen again

lol they're not even trying to hide that the moon is made of cheese anymore
