The fact that ms word count in Wake Up Dead Man is 782k and then the book is thin I'd very funny

Mine too

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️

In a screening of Ferrarri when they showed the crash, a guy in front shouted Jesus Christ really loudly then repeated it quieter

At Avengers Endgame a kid of around six shouted 'yes' when Cap picked up the hammer

Dragon blanket is finished! I've added the pattern to my Ravelry store in case anyone feels inspired to make one.

This is 40! And to celebrate my continuing existence, I'd like to offer ten free query edits to anyone planning to dive into the trenches. RT and like to enter, and I'll pick ten people tomorrow. Tell your friends!

My USB fan is the only thing stopping me from flopping into a puddle of sweat

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

#DangerousAnimals is the second surfer film I've seen this year, though this one had more sharks :)

Missed out on the Natural Six merch, but got Oxventure tickets so am pretty happy nerd

Writing West Midlands Reveals the 2025 Cohort of Room 204 - Writing West Midlands We are thrilled to announce the new cohort of 15 Room 204 writers-in-development. The programme started in 2012 and they will join 205 others who have been part of the scheme since its inception.

It took me 6 applications over 8 years so persistence paid off for me.

I've been through a lot in the last five years and the gap in applications were because I was heading into burnout. I applied for the 2025 cohort expecting another rejection but instead I got in! 🧵

In 2018, I applied for the Writing West Midlands Room 204 mentorship scheme and got rejected.

I applied again in 2019, 2020, 2023 and 2024 and again got rejected 🧵

The party scene was spectacular

The reason everyone's talking about the bad behaviour at #Minecraft screenings is that otherwise they'd have to talk about how bad the film is

While I'm sad Nanowrimo is closing as I wrote so many books over the years I used it, once they tried to cover up child grooming they lost any respect I had

Five years since the first Covid lockdown announced. My boss refused to let us, office workers, work from home and my job turned from awful to toxic. I will never forgive the people who made a very tough time intentionally worse, but I'm in a much better place now. #covidreflection

Once the housework is out the way, I'm finishing my draft.

First week of finishing at 4 on a Friday thanks to my new contract 😀

So happy about this

I just watched The Substance and I am not okay

When the world got too much last year, I was looking for something to listen to to take my mind off it. I picked this podcast at random and it's been a real tonic. I'm not ready for it to end 😭😭😭

WE DIDN'T LOSE!!!! #dcfc

As I'm writing sci-fi, I've researched heavy gravity effects on people, digital lock picking and the effects an extra finger and toe joint would have

Left my mc on the edge of her dark night of the soul. Poor thing - all her bad decisions are coming back to haunt her #writing

At a Lower Decks panel.

Q: “If they offered you a Star Trek police procedural, would you do it?”

Tawny Newsome: “yes but the first episode would be them all quitting being cops.”

Give this woman the keys to Star Trek now please.

Every book I've written has been me working through something I've gone through. The WIP is the first I've intentionally written that way, the rest I've only realised afterwards.
