Can I have one about Demeter that you’ll really dig?

@joannanadin.bsky.social organised a brilliant #uobwritersday @bristolunienglish.bsky.social !!!

How to be a writer: First, plant the tree on which the leaves of your book will be printed. Next, hatch the bird from whose quill your ink will flow. Water the tree. Feed the bird. Learn the patience of things that grow and the joy of things that sing. Make tea: you've got time.

Come (back) to uni at Bristol on 7 June for a day of talks, interviews and workshops. £25 and plenty of concessions available!

Like a dog returneth to his vomit, I’ve gone back to X.

Got a thank you parcel from @lisamclark.bsky.social that MADE ME CRY. Dr Clark, encouraged to slow down with her imagery, wrote a hymn just for me and then made me a pendant from her grandparent’s fountain pen. 🥹🥹🥹

Not only is this my mid morning snack, but I arrived back at my desk precisely when my security update had finished. I am your new god. Tribute and sacrifices to the usual address. Thank you.

I’ve done all the grownupping I can today. I’m going to see Ash Bond and Peregine!!!

This am I’ve: 1) Done the classic ADHD I’ve-got-an-hour-oh-now-ten-minutes-and-I’m-not-ready, 2)Confused two students and talked to the right student about the wrong story, 3) Made a student cry by admitting the end of Third Year is brutal but they’d be okay. Upwards.

Very stressed this week and succumbed to a very rare online shopping splurge last night. Can’t wait for my straw mulch and vegetable seeds to arrive.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 17366: Don't try to improve your writing by looking for more "interesting" words. Instead, say more interesting THINGS with the words you already have...

Happy Mothering Sunday. Hope you have as much fun as I am.

@racheldelahaye.bsky.social You’re on!

Good luck to everyone trying to sleep after the Wales match.

I miss her so much, but the work is on the rest of us now. @ursulakleguin.com at the 2014 National Book Awards. "I think hard times are coming when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et9N...

🎶Blackboard posting in the dead of night…🎶 (although it was already light, really)

Hanging out with other artists/authors…

After a month-long staff crisis and then the five broken ribs, today I am looking at my diary and to-do list. Weeping might be involved.
