Rearing my head to say hello I am: - Hot - Busy - In my editing and revisions hole - Still alive More book news updates coming soon I promise. FAREWELL.

I change my hair so often that 8 months later my headshots are already out of date. It's fine I'm clearly just too cool and sexy to be captured in a permanent manner.

Throw me your finest, freshest tips for when you're handling dev/structural edits? Sometimes I find it very hard to think about the bigger picture when all I can see on my screen is 1 page at a time but printing out the whole flippin thing isn't an option at the moment I think my printer would cry

It's a beautiful day to watch The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019) again.

NO female character makes me crazy crazy like Karen Page. I'm nuts about her. THAT'S my poor little meow meow.

Today is cover reveal day for THE BONE BRIDES, and I am vibrating like a star in the sky! Not in my wildest imaginings did I ever think I would have a cover this beautiful. THE BONE BRIDES comes out Sept 29th---with exquisite spredges exclusive to the first edition! Pre-order links in bio!

I've been quiet because 1) The end of dev edits and pub feedback is in sight 👀 2) ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION SEASON 2!!! NOTHING IN MY HEAD BUT THESE SILLY ASS PIRATES

10,000 words of dev edits done between December and today. I need a medal, a nap, and a cocktail.

Day 4 of sinus cold with no sign of relief: huaaoourrghghh.

I hate to say it, I truly do, but in a live action of The Last Unicorn, Timothee Chalamet would make the perfect Schmendrick.

Nothing like a bit of Dectectorists to make me wish I was sitting in a field in mild weather drinking weak sweet coffee out of a flask.

I was supposed to be taking myself out for a little writing day retreat at Gladstones today but I woke up full of snot 😭 sofa writing/rotting it is.

So many editors specifically have "no animal stories/animal protagonists" on their lists which is so sad for me specifically 😭 what's that all about. You don't want mouse? with sword? angry feminist mouse with sword and her gay frog prince best friend?? #UKKidLit

Watched the first 2 episodes of Small Prophets and it's exactly the kind of thing I wanted to make in uni. It really reminds me of a script I wrote that I'm gonna have to dig out and revisit.

Suddenly remembered this for no reason and had to scroll back to find it and now I'm laughing again. Good morning, double ADHD peas.

how did this happen (double ADHD household, that's how).

Quick question for other writers: when does rest come?? Oh God when do we rest???? Thanks in advance!

Was there ANYTHING more smug than the kids on the playground who wrongly insisted the lyrics were "I'm blue, if I was green I would die"???

I've been so busy working away at The Nesting Room but today I've been thinking about my other book on sub Lilymouse and how much I love it. It's so special and timely I am shaking it at acquiring editors like a bag of dreamies. Pspsps, you want feminist Redwall for modern audiences with LGBTQ rep?

My One Piece journey has been unconventional (read a few manga as a kid > dropped it > didn't care for years > watched the live action and LOVED IT > started watching the anime) and this thing will really have you saying the most dumb stereotypical shid like "oh man just wait til you get to water 7"

I am so wildly flabbergasted that EVERY advert for any AI tool comes with the onscreen text "sequences shortened, results may be inaccurate, not currently available in this format". They're fully stating that it's a lie and their product doesn't work as advertised!!! Surely this is not legal.

If you used AI to write it, I don’t want to read it. Simple as that.

I'm not very good at drawing, but I've never let that stop me; aka, it's #hourlycomicsday!

The cat’s out of the bag!! I’m so excited that I can finally announce this and shout it from the rooftops: I’M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR! My debut middle grade novel, TINY PURPLE THREADS will be coming out with Lerner in Fall of 2027. I cannot wait to share more of Sophie’s story!!

Braved the cold and the wet to forage for seasonal life-giving sustainance (bag of cadbury mini eggs).

In my nice week off work whilst I await first round of edit feedback (we go to print in May!!) I have visited family, watched films, read, done a watercolour workshop, worked on sewing projects, visited a museum, had a massage, and it's STILL not enough to distract me. What if I done writing bad??

This Overwatch news feels like seeing my wife come back from the dead but she's come back wrong.
