Is there any worse system in the world than Ticketmaster for concerts? Signed up for a mailing list months ago, joined the queue early, randomly assigned a place that meant I had zero chance to buy tickets - and some of the people who succeeded are already selling them for profit 15 mins later...

Freya the cat is sooo cute.

Text from the PerfectIt window, asking me innocently if I had misspelled "count". I had not.

Oh, sweet, innocent PerfectIt... No. No, I did not 😂

A cute cat biting the cardboard of a window cut into a cardboard box.

Another #FreyaFriday because she's too cute not to post. Here she is renovating her cardboard mansion 🏠

A day in the life of a freelance editor and proofreader - KN Editorial The topic of this week’s blog is a little more frivolous and self-indulgent than usual, but I know I’m addicted to “day in the life” type content myself, so I thought it might be interesting to at lea...

Today's blog is my take on the "a day in the life" trend. Read on to find out what a freelance editor and proofreader actually does all day, along with some potentially interesting insights into freelance life... (and the cute cat content doesn't hurt either!) #amediting #freelance

It seems to have been specific to only a small number of users, which happened to include me 🙃 All sorted now thankfully, but I'll be playing catch-up tomorrow!

Lol, not at all! I'm the same usually tbh, and can't stand how so many things are becoming subscription-only! It's resolved now thankfully, so I can try to catch up tomorrow...

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but every level has been replaced with "Red Dead Redemption 2"

Me, at the moment:

Me neither! But seems to be all users on a shared "Family" subscription. I haven't been able to sign in all afternoon, so I can't use any of the programs! 🙃

Microsoft 365 down 😩 Not ideal for an editor...

Writing and editing comics: How to use ellipses in comics and graphic novels - KN Editorial An ellipsis can completely change how we understand a sentence, a character's intentions, a whole scene. But – especially in comics – I so often see them underused/overused/with two or four or even mo...

Also, I wrote a blog. This one is all about ellipses in comics and graphic novels... #amediting #comics

It's #FreyaFriday! Content as can be in a pile of crumpled up paper. Trash queen😻

Spent the afternoon listening to agents talk about trends in publishing and what they're looking for in a pitch. Love to hear that horror is a big area of growth at the moment, especially blended with other genres. Historical horror, crime horror, SFF horror, middle-grade horror 🖤💀

Blessed with a mlem from on high! 🐈

Me holding my copy of my book, black cover with green text and white and green dots in a "matrix" pattern

Extract from the book about Neodämmerung, the track that plays during Neo and Smith's final confrontation.

I'm one sale away from 300 lifetime sales ✨

My self-published The Matrix Illuminated book is a collection of interpretations, theories, a summary of referenced philosophical ideas and religions, and a lore book too.

So here's a thought. How about governments don't rip up copyright law to help out the chancers chasing this destructive mirage, but pivot to defending and supporting the creative industries which make money for their economies.

Working on an editorial assessment this week, which means I get to lie in bed reading (and making notes) all day! #amediting

Coco is worth the risk! 🥺

Haha, well, maybe a bit of both then!

Cute little pink nose on a sleeping cat.

Impossible to resist this very boopable snoot. (I promise this hasn't turned into a purely cat-based account. Writing and editing content will return at some point!)

Aw thank you! She's adorable. Not sure she's great for my productivity though! 😂

Cat sleeping on windowsill.

It's my new office assistant's first day, and so far she's spent the whole time slacking off! 🐈

Paperback of The Matrix Illuminated, a book on the Matrix's first three movies, by me

My book The Matrix Illuminated sold 289 copies in its lifetime since 2021 (released just before Resurrections). One person read it all on Kindle Unlimited this month, and it sold another 4 copies, with 6 sold last month, particularly around the Christmas days.

Hope they enjoy it!

A beautiful 9 month old kitten, grey brown colour with gentle stripes, green eyes, long whiskers.

Last night me and @katenascim.bsky.social welcomed a new member to the family, a beautiful 9 month old rescue kitten. We haven't picked a name for our princess cat yet 💖

Thank you! We can't wait!
