Hadn't heard of this one, but it's one up on Pendle Hill.

If eating “mindfully” is shuddering and wincing at each spoonful of unsweetened yogurt with very sour raspberries and chia seeds, then I ate really fracking mindfully.

Hoarfrost being delightfully random on my windshield tonight. (Ignore the reflection of my dashboard.) #winter

Well, late tech adopter that I am, I've finally migrated over here. Already the skies look bluer. I've gotten out of the social media habit the last several months with X being what it is now, so be patient while I get back in the swing of things. Looking forward to following many more of you. <3

I’m in the sweating buckets stage of RSV. #ugh #happynewyear

This is the second time in the last 5 years I’ve been presented with the actual risk of slipping on a banana peel. It’s like cliché Groundhog Day.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas. Hit us up @hallmarkchannel.bsky.social @netflix.com 🙏

How will you make time to write today? How will you make time to read today? However you do it....no shame.

Memes make me laugh. Mimes creep me out. I have no strong feelings about mames, momes, or mumes. #Monday

Mini is carefully inspecting the void in my desk behind the drawer. There better not be a spider. I need to be able to relax to edit. #writingcommunity #booksky #cats

Great tool for authors and readers to find other similar authors. Type the name of the author your writing is most like (Janet Evanovich, for me), and www.literature-map.com will show you the closest comparables. #writingcommunity #booksky

Is everyone else drowning in bots?

I learned this the hard way when I decided to tilt my moon roof to get the snow to slide back and off. Instead I opened the moon roof and WHOMP filled the car with snow. #Canada #storm #snow #winter

Anyone else desperate for an update on the #SuzanneMorphew case? Her remains contained tranquilizer. Pretty sure her husband wasn’t chasing a chipmunk that day. Any plans @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social ?🕵🏼‍♀️ #Dateline

This might just be the cutest etymology I’ve ever learned!

This is what my copy of Infinite Jest looks like! Full of Post-its!

Anyone else noticing fake accounts starting to follow them? I have to look at followers more carefully before I follow back now. One poor author had someone make a version of her account with an extra t in her name and they had a shop link up. Some dark clouds in our blue sky.

First snow! And in the month of November we have worn both T-shirts and sandals and winter boots. That’s how it is here…just not usually in November. Global warming has given us an extra month of summerfall. #canada #globalwarming

I’m waiting in the parking lot to pick my husband up from day surgery, and the person in the car next to me has their bare foot hiked up and is inspecting their toes.

Word of the day is ‘sequaciousness’ (16th century): the slavish and reckless following of another person in matters of thought or opinion.

For all the haters, I had a pumpkin spice scone today and it was delish.

Sounds really good!

My RL self. Findlay is my pen name. By day, I’m a fiction editor.✍️

I never thought I'd achieve my dream of being published, but here I am with one book out in the world, and two following closely behind 💗 I still have to pinch myself 😄 #writers #writingcommunity

Our cats have two very different pin-up vibes. Vargas girl vs. Hustler

You’re all inspiring me to open Scrivener and get back to my WIP. A little community and positive interaction goes a long way. Thank you!

I like term novelist - it’s sexy and dangerous. Like being a duelist. Obviously, it’s mostly crying and sitting down, but still.
