“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.”
Graham Greene, born on this day in 1904

Every day is a good day to share a piece of writing or art you love. Or like. Or found uncomfortable. Or made you question or feel or think. That made you want to smile or cry or paint or draw or love. That reminded you of something you have or lost or could find. That carried your feet another step

Dear writers:

Write that story. Edit mercilessly. Send that email. Ignore the haters. Stay humble, but be confident. Get paid. Read a lot. Write despite your insecurities. Support others. Accept helpful criticism. Celebrate everything. Don't panic. Never quit. You got this.

Have come to the realization that my 2025 writing projects are dominated by the animal kingdom. 👑

- Prose, pending pub., about a swan 🦢
- Poetry, pending pub., about a muskrat 🦫
- Short story, pending pub., about a raven, opossum, and wolf 🐺

🔜 Next project: From the POV of a cat. 🐈‍⬛

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

My favourite book of all time. 🥰🍇📙

I can watch Jordan Peele movies, too! (Creepy, but not scary?)

You are 100% right, Walt. 😊

We Live Here Now, by Sarah Pinsborough

I'm glad it's not just me! 🙂

Hardcover book on a table. We Live Here Now by Sarah Pinsborough

@stephenking.bsky.social was right about this one.

I read it in four days flat!

Still trying to understand why I can read horror novels but can't watch horror movies...😱

This is me! I'm 44, mom to two boys, and I've been circling around the same 15,000 words of an urban fantasy novel for the past six years. 🤦‍♀️ I am really struggling with carving out writing time, and welcome any advice from female authors who have been successful at it. Will DM you. 😊

A collage for the reading series, featuring Emily Weedon's new novel, Hemo Sapiens, as well as authors Andrew Robertson, Selena Mercuri and Brooke Lockyer. The Caledonian is in Little Portugal, at 856 College St.

Happening tomorrow, Toronto peeps! I'll be reading from RADIOLAND (and signing books) at the next Drunk Fiction reading event at The Caledonian, hosted by Emily Weedon (launching her next novel)! There will be authors aplenty and a wide array of ales and whisky. Hope to see you Tuesday @ 6pm!

LOL! I was thinking if I name it "Charlotte", or "Spidey", it will be less intimidating. 🤷‍♀️

NOT enjoying this game of cat-and-mouse with a spider in my home office right now. 🕷️🤦‍♀️

📢 Reminder to authors: Please book your editors in advance! 🙏
I had to turn down two authors recently that I really wanted to work with, because they needed someone to start right away, and I was booked.

You ever finish reading a book, and feel like your life has been permanently changed from having read said book?

Yeah.

Reeling from it. 🌀
