Nursing a sick chicken in a rain-rocked caravan, trying to come up with my watchwords for 2025. These are my words to live by. I prefer them to resolutions; the whole measurable goals things feels too much like project management.

The moment you realise everyone else looks perfectly fine under the ‘unflattering’ dressing room lights, and that is, in fact, just your face.

First dress rehearsal in an hour. I have flu. I have a hacking cough. I have NO VOICE. As @hierath77.bsky.social has suggested, tonight I will be doing panto as interpretive dance.

Two weeks later than planned, the Christmas cake is in the oven. I’m trying my mother’s recipe for only the third time since she died in 2007. Five hours to wait to see if it’s cake-like, and another three weeks to taste it. Here’s hoping.

So, some time in the new year @rozc.bsky.social and I will be open to novella subs. Hopefully. So consider this thread to contain some advice in far advance about what we want to see, and more importantly what we don't. Also some more general advice about subbing . 1/?

Hey authors, don’t forget that if you use bookshop.org instead of that great big place, you will be helping out indie bookshops - very few of who make so much they are dabbling with building rockets - you can even choose which bookshop uk.bookshop.org/shop/booksho...

Being a part of this project has been a trip for me. A Way Out is my first pro-published work and to have it appearing next to so many amazing women authors I know is just fantastic. @hierath77.bsky.social and @rozc.bsky.social have done a truly amazing job with this anthology.

The People Who Make The Things You Buy with the justification that you can recycle those things are making 1000x more of those things than you could ever recycle, and at some point I think we should ask why They think that's OK www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Danie was instrumental in getting FLAG 1 off the ground, and her story this time around absolutely nailed the brief - and is one of my favourites.

This is why I’m here: 🧵Trigger warning: suicide I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice. Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

So.... Fight Like A Girl 2, edited by my ineffable workwife @rozc.bsky.social and me, is coming out from @wtpress.bsky.social THIS WEEK. There will now be a flurry of self-promotion (sorrynotsorry). I am very very proud of this one, all our wonderful authors knocked it out of the park.
