I feel like the algorithm curse has followed me from the Bad Place. Can you see my posts? Is it worth staying here? 😩

Spent 30 minutes before work editing a page. Grabbing those little moments really do add up!

This felt very on theme for my writing day 💖

It’s 2025? Why are Word docs and Pages docs still so dramatic with each other. 🙄

Mystery solved! The cat had jumped off the wall and cannon balled through the roof! The cat is fine and the hole is being repaired. 🛠️

The neighbour’s cat has been found in my shed. I have not been in the shed for weeks. The cat was last seen that morning. Stay tuned for updates.

Guess who made pick of the month on The Sunday Times historical fiction roundup 👀 #BlackbirdsOfSaintGiles #BlackHistory #HistoricalFiction

So lovely to hear @mhut25.bsky.social read from #BlackbirdsofSaintGiles at the Manchester launch event. Happy publication weekend! 🐦‍⬛

And they’re flying! It’s publication day for #TheBlackbirdsofStGiles by me & @Marciathewriter as #LilaCain. We are so proud of our sweeping historical novel set in the diabolical rookery of St Giles - the dark heart of Georgian London. Can love, the bonds of family & hope triumph? Find out today 🐦‍⬛💚🐦‍⬛

The revision process is an important learning process of editing and tweaking, but I do miss the unrestrained joy of diving into a first draft and just discovering a story. Hope I can do that again this year.

You'd think that being a writer I'd be able to find the words to express how I feel about being included on the Observer list of best debut novelists for 2025? Well you'd be wrong, I'm totally lost for words - but not for ball gowns! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j... #TheMercyStep

Plot twist: You're actually getting better with every word you write. Even the bad ones. Especially the bad ones.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

When you forget you’re editing and end up reading 🫠 Guess it’s a good sign?!

It’s the last full working week before Christmas. Time has slowed to the pace of a drunk snail navigating through glue. This contortion of reality should be studied. 🐌

Reader, I googlied him

Can any writers who use Kindle Scribe or ReMarkable 2 to annotate their docs sell me the benefits? I don’t know which to pick!
