In Polish we don’t say „oh my, she looks so much like her mum.”
We say „her skin was first flayed off her mum.”

You’re welcome.

My favourite place is disappearing.
I wrote a little poem about it.

They’re cutting down my childhood
Limb by limb
Root and stem
For a hundred-year-old shelf

I’m quietly working on announcing a *thing* soon and I’m completely blown away by how willing my writer friends are to help.

The industry has its faults but a lack of camaraderie isn’t one of them.

Thank you to the wonderful @gabrielahouston.bsky.social for having me on her podcast! It was a lot of fun chatting about Mushroom Blues, my obsession with fungi, storytelling, writing craft, self-publishing and more 🍄

Thank you, much appreciated! I’m wading through it slowly!

It will be exciting to have access to EVERYTHING. And the transparency of data. And the control!
I’m still doing traditionally published projects but this is a new kind of beast and I’m enjoying the challenge!
