I’m learning how to make jewellery from silver clay (it’s amazing how much you can learn from youtube!) It’s both fun and nerve-wracking, because the clay is very expensive for very small amounts, and it dries out in minutes, so you don’t get second chances. Anyway, here are two things I’ve made.

The combination of a bunch of life stuff putting writing on hold for a month and trying to get back into it when I left off in the middle of the chapter I feel the least confident in has been brutal, but I think I finally got back into it today.

Here’s a parenting hack for you: don’t buy cute clothes your kids. It will feel impossible to give them up once they outgrow them. It’s very easy to declutter when it’s just plain basics.

It’s really hard to explain why a nightmare was so emotionally devastating you started crying after you wake up when you have to mention the weird little dream twists like «and somehow the baby was Prince Harry».

Do people truly believe in zodiacs? I keep seeing people refer to their sign as if it says something real about them.

You know how pregnant women start nesting when they subconsciously feel labour approaching? Two days ago I suddenly felt like cleaning the toilet. That same evening I started a sixteen hour bout of violently vomiting into said toilet.

It’s pretty difficult to get started on new medication while you have a baby who doesn’t sleep. What’s side effects and what’s sleep deprivation? Who knows?

I need someone to confirm that Titus Burgess voices the turtle in You’re a Star from Wish. I can’t find anything about it, but that is his voice.

I’ve started writing so many books, and they all get abandoned somewhere between 7K-10K words. My current is at 7627. I have two things I haven’t had before, however. A proper outline and Ritalin. (Typical woman diagnosed with ADHD in her late 30s). Follow to see if I finally finish something!

Needle ice is so fascinating. And crunchy.

I’ve got a new article up on CrimeReads today! Completely unrelated to Thanksgiving.

Incredibly niche, but I am so shocked to find that what Norwegians call crow silver is not the same as fool’s gold, but muscovite mica. Is there even a folks name for that in English?

I stopped being able to engage with others on the internet once we shifted from making friends to gathering followers.

I’m so fed up with the lazy narrative that John Mulaney built his career on talking about his wife. He did one bit in one special, and mentioned her a few times in interviews. He talked way more about his history with addiction and people still paint him as pretending to be a clean cut wife guy.

It’s really hard to be a good parent when your kid misbehaves in the funniest way.

If anyone wonders if they really want to have kids, I’d like them to know that a lie in for me now means sleeping until 07.30 after getting up three times in the night. Just put that into your equation.

My five year old has never got emotional over movies. Not even Bing Bong or Mufasa’s death (I promise she’s not a sociopath). All that changed today when she saw Captain Crewe not recognise Sara at her first viewing of A Little Princess.

I’m plotting a book properly for the first time, and have now gotten so into the world and characters that it feels a bit like how writing fanfics felt back in the day. If you know, you know.

As sleep deprived mum of small kids with a recent ADHD diagnosis (me, not the kids), I would like applause every time I get even a little bit of writing done. Also when I get the laundry folded.

I’m too old to know how to make internet friends in a day and age where we use our real names and pictures, rather than the name an elvish name generator gave you at age 13 and icons from TV shows. Who will follow me if they can’t tell we like the same obscure character based on my icon?

I’m going to occasionally post some of my poems, because we not just make myself incredibly vulnerability in front of the famously kind internet.

My introduction here at bluesky: My name is Jannicke, I like to write poems about motherhood, high concept screenplays and working on some middle grade fantasy. I just like writing. I also like making typos and not catching them before posting.
