How's my day?

Bin launched escape plan with wind at 3am. Doorbell woke me up to tattle. Foiled, the wind rattled windows in revenge until daylight

Then this travesty: the bag in the cup of tea if been longing for all meeting (should have been an email) split. #bloodytypical

How's YOUR day going?

Thank you sweetie

So grateful to have cheerleaders like you in my corner... it can make such a huuuuuuge difference when dealing with chronic illnesses to have love and support (and sometimes necessary butt kicking) on side x

Shower helped :) and my current status might be something like I β™₯️ Hotwaterbottles!

Unfortunately, my condition came with the BOGOF (wish it would bug off!) special of bipolar too (plus some unrelated challenges) so it's a bit more complicated. Because I had to be a high achiever medically lol

Editing is often tricky, but look at my cute little "helper"

He inspired the very mischievous Mallow in Second Chances at the Little Village Sanctuary - so we'll forgive him for delaying my @joffebooks.bsky.social edits!

But even with his "help", the beautiful Life After Me is due in Jan!

A lovely ARC review for Midnight Rainbows

Due from @joffebooks.bsky.social & Choc Lit January 7th!

A lot of firsts for me with this one... First #sapphic romcom. First lead with #chronicillness #hiddendisabilty & my first pre-orders only orange flag (hopefully many more to come!)

100%

Only I use xxx as an easy ctrl+f

But I started my bud writing career at 22, and brackets are often used in that setting

You can ask... But my publisher handle most of the publicity

I think I'm about half and half
I plan a little bit, but pretty much pants most of it
But my first draft (according to my editor, at least) tend to be pretty clean

Does that mean I'm a BOB? Or just lucky? Or maybe weird.

It's probably weird.
