When my daughter says ‘yippeekiyay’ and I have to clamp a hand over my mouth to stop chiming in with ‘…motherfucker!’

Thank you so much for this Rae (and happy Christmas!).

Wow Awais phenomenal !!! Is it online yet!?

Never knew this book had a glow-in-the-dark cover! (But don’t like how haunted Beyond Black looks with the lights off. 😨)

How lucky they are to have you Ger! Good luck!!!

I can recommend a good deep clean of the hot press when you have completed BlueSky.

I baked cookies. Even the cat is worried for me.

I’m at that stage in my draft where I’ve decided every book in my house needs to be alphabetised.

I've made an executive decision to start Baileys season early this year. (If they can play Christmas at me wherever I go, then I can drink Baileys.)

😂😂 That is a very normal response. If you have the ending you are sorted! I am trying to finish for Christmas too. 💪🏼😁

Yes! A little inspiration always helps. And maybe a little chocolate too. 😁

90% is amazing - well done you! I think the switching is really useful too. Seems to unlock things.
