I am loving the returning officer from Blyth's outfit. Like a fabulous Peacock.

Today's book choice is In a Place of Darkness by Stuart MacBride. #AmReading 💙📚

My 7 year old offered to spend his money (all $10) on an electric wheelchair for my dad. Showing, in one moment, more empathy towards the infirm than the entire conservative government. Can't wait to wake up on July 5th

Sad moment today, realized my 7 year old is too good at spelling for me to help him without Google. He isn't advanced. I'm just that dyslexic

That Bluey episode with the planets/nighttime has me in absolute bits. Amazing writing

Anyone else find themselves stuck writing conversations between their characters that they know will have to be cut in editing? Or am I an idiot?

Feels like the centerists and more left leaning people of the USA and UK are in very different places. In the UK we are counting down the days till it's over. In the US you are counting down the days until the end (although I hope not)

Spent three months planning this novel. Have abandoned said plan and I'm only a third through. Why did I try to be a plotter?

I truly believe that all political discourse should be a mature exchange of ideas... But also that Nigel Farage should get milkshaked every day of this campaign.

The challenge is to choose 20 books that greatly influenced you. One book per day, for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. 📚💙 Day 1

How come I'm 40 and still don't know what to say at the barber's? Have I failed adulting?

I can't even bring myself to be happy about Trumps convictions. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop

Anyone else love old sci-fi book covers?

Hit my, tiny, word count target after a few months off due to bad health. Im so happy I'm doing a lap of honour round my empty house.

Reading Norse Mythology by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com to my 7yo is wonderful. Reminds me of falling in love with myths at his age. A memory I will cherish long after he has forgotten. Thank you.

Currently going through a rewatch of Supernatural and it still holds up. The out there episodes are great and Jenson Ackles comic timing is always on point

Stopped writing for two months due to health/painkiller issues now trying to pick up the pieces of a book I barely remember. Feels like I'm desperately trying to rekindle the flames of a long dead romance.

It's embarrassing to know this. But quality whiskey goes surprisingly well with cheap fondant fancies.

Watching Last Airbender on Netflix, enjoying it but it's another fantasy which makes more sense if you assume low intelligence is a byproduct of magical ability

Writing with sciatica is annoying, all my characters end up sioer grumpy

Everyone I open this app I get Mr Bluesky stuck in my head. An added bonus
