...and then start doing it to themselves, which means i have to tell them they're not idiots and that they shouldn't call themselves mean names

...and then they tell me "auntie wendee you shouldn't call yourself an idiot" when i do it and it's a great reminder and also the sweetest thing 🥹🥹

one of the more surprising good mental health results of having nephews on my doorstep is that they notice when i call myself an idiot (or other not-great things)...

my nephew, after we dropped off his father at the tractor:

“ARE WE GOING HOME AGAIN SO I CAN POOP OR WHAT”

forgetting a previous book's character names yet again, and having to hunt out and open up those files just to find those names, is a special kind of irritation

😂😭😂 based on some of the potatoes replying on my (and other) comment/s negating the op, some people really do seem to think that!

help, people are saying stupid things on the internet again 😭

this time a bloke was saying that people with dyslexia "in English" aren't dyslexic "in Chinese" and vice versa

i'm dyslexic in both English & Korean--unfortunately, my disability doesn't have a cheat code that comes with a 2nd language

😂😂😂

i had to run today

i am discombomulated

just when you think DHS and/or ICE can't be more disgusting or predatory...

they're LITERALLY banking on these people they're claiming to be criminals, to actually be good people who want to help

aka, decent Americans who help their neighbours

like george of the jungle i am ALWAYS HERE TO HELP

listen,,,if they love it so much, why SHOULDNT they fiddle through the afterlife?

the world can always do with another famous fiddler of doubtful life/soul status

sorry if you followed me thinking i'm a cool author

i'm actually three cranky gremlins in a trench coat and i argue with the newscasters on my tv

me wakin’ up to find that my reel ABOUT MY TOENAILS is at 11.5k views, 4x more than my best book reel

👁️👄👁️

i started this series bc i wanted to write a woman in her 30s with sciatica + a manic pixie madman in alt-Australia with lots of gothic and blood + a slightly sentient Tea House

now we're at book 5/6 with book 6 to come later this year

aka, the PERFECT time to jump into the Kickstarter

you have no idea how much this made me giggle I LOVE THIS

UPDATE: the little dog (mine) has taught the big dog (mum's) to make the cute little bark sound he makes when he wants some of my food

the problem is, big dog does not have access to a "cute" bark and instead lets out a "rumbles in the pit of hell" sort of sound instead

image is a screenshot of two text bubbles. the top one says, "i'm just jellyfishing this morning" and the lower one says, "blorb blorb blorb around the place"

how my day is going:

unfair that all of the dogs are still asleep and i am AWAKE

sometimes i can trick the adhd that way, but usually it’s only this way around 😭😭😂

today in the life of an author:

*tried to write
*accidentally did my newsletter instead
*tried to write
*blew my nose too many times instead
*tried to write
*fiddled around with canva to make unhinged valentines day cards
*tried to write
*unloaded the dishwasher instead

hey so it turns out that there is only *just over two weeks* before the Splintered Loyalty Kickstarter begins??? so you definitely should be on the prelaunch page and clicking "notify me" so you don't miss the start of it!

get your Aussie Urban Fantasy here!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/wrg...

there are heaps of amazing things about being a writer, but one of the best is having access to writer friends' books before publication

i've been nomming on gorgeous books from both Kate Stradling & Claire Trella Hill (@tallndiabolical.bsky.social) and you guys don't (yet) know what you're missing

your work is excellent, and getting better with every book 🙌🏻 can’t ask for more than that!

(i mean other than getting paid sufficiently 😩🙈😂)

delightful: what else are one’s books for if not that?

dante really out here sayin "yeah homer & his mates say i'm one of the blokes; just one of the greats :) so yeah now ya know :) don't forget"

don't worry if you forget, tho; this is abt the 3rd time he's aggrandised and immortalised himself in the cantos and it deffo won't be the last

good for him
