I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

🙂

You do realise I can't unsee this now!

His tears stopped abruptly and for a split second, I saw something cold flicker behind his eyes.

Oh to be that flexible and cute! 😊

Please don't give the UK tour operators any idea's...

I worked on a client research project and found certain demographics are most worried about AI taking jobs. Every major tech shift has caused losses, the internet being a prime example. Yet it’s created trillion-dollar industries and opportunities. This book will be an important read for many.

Tonight, the sky can’t hold itself together. Neither can I.

Perseids are proof that breaking isn’t always ugly, in nature or in us. Sometimes it’s the only way to be seen. 🌠

A graphic with a terracotta background and soft light shadows. In the centre, a rounded rectangle with cream fill contains bold brown text that reads: “Mondays aren’t for fresh starts. They’re for deciding what you can get away with.” Below, the handle “@elinashawauthor” appears in a white outlined box.

Many people hate Mondays. What would you do differently today, if you could? 👀

Let’s see. Publish or not, it's still unfolding. If it’s meant to reach the right people, it will. I’ll be sharing snippets across my socials. The full story will reveal itself in time.🙂 Wishing you the best with your own creative journey, writing's deeply rewarding and undeniably tough. Keep going.

Yes, the first of possibly three to begin with... It's currently under editorial. First full pass is done, my eyes hurt. I'm hoping to either secure an agent or self-publish, still undecided. I’d love to publish this year, but that might’ve been a bold goal!

Tell me, what is your book about?

🙏

So true! 😀

Yesss! The book gods finally listened 🙌
Holiday read, now officially sorted. 🙏
If only I could manifesting this energy for my own debut - One day! 😏

White, jagged paper background. Black, centered text appears in three short sentences: “Would you have fallen” “if he’d shown you” “who he really was?” Signed at the bottom: @elinashawauthor

Would you have stayed
If he’d shown you who he really was?
Not the charm, the narcissism.
His entire, manipulative truth.

So…. Would you have stayed?
Tell me below, yes, no, or maybe.

Debut novel coming soon! 📚📘

Sunday POV - Apparently we’re not supposed to drink during menopause. We’re also not supposed to rage, cry at cat food ads, or grow a beardie.

We do it anyway and we’re living unapologetically through all of it. 💪 Cheers, ladies. Who’s with me?

💨 I wish Israel would just stop this fight
💨 I wish Palestinians could be free from blight
💨 I wish Russia would leave Ukraine's way
💨 I wish tyrants would just fade away
💨 I wish we'd stop killing Earth's light
💨 I wish for a world that's just and right
💨 I wish my wishes take their flight

What a shot. 🫶

We've got zero growth and spiralling inflation, yet the BoE's thinks another micro rate cut is the solution. Might as well fight a house fire with a water gun.

I don't think we can blame all Americans for the actions of the few. But we can certainly question whether there is some sort of elite twisted group putting pedophilia at the heart of a nation.

Netanyahu has made basic human survival his battleground. It’s Leningrad on a mass scale. Starve the people out of existence to win a pointless war 75% of Israelis don’t support. This isn’t war, it’s annihilation by attrition. History will remember. I hope he gets what’s coming.

This is pure gold - Cheat death, if only!

A tempting spread of varoius book titles on a wooden table in a bookstore, spines out, stories untold, each one waiting patiently to be read.

Close-up of the book cover for “The Do-Over” by Lynn Painter. The cover is made up of soft pink tones, a minimalist layout and bold serif title font.

Close-up of the book cover for "Want" by Gillian anderson. The covers is electric pink.

Close-up of the book cover, Animal by Lisa Taddeo. A fierce, haunting orange-toned face fills the frame, eyes fixed in a piercing female gaze.

Fridays were made for book cover rabbit holes and a cheeky break from edits. No doubt you can guess what I've been up to?

Ravenous is a beautiful word. Turns out writing not only frees the soul, it might be good for the diet too. Friday at last, here’s to plenty of snacking and wine... 😂
Happy Friday.

Yes - healthy for the rest of the world. No more Russia hacks for while. Happy days!
