I'm a writer, development worker, newspaper columnist and translator, who tells stories in order to get the characters to move out of her head onto the page. I remain an optimistic idealist despite the occasional challenges of such an approach!

You know you have been spending too much time on #socialmedia when you originally misread this #booktitle as "TINDER is the flesh" ๐Ÿ˜

(Or maybe - given the fleshpots of #Tinder - it was just a Freudian slip?)

The #family who chose her couldn't understand why this #pittie #dog was reluctant to leave the shelter until they realised that she was terrified that her friend, the little #Chihuahua, would be left behind.

So in the end they adopted both #dogs!

I'm quite pleased that the #library allocated to those who share my #birthday month is perfect for us!

I love those soaring picture windows that let the light in almost as much as the well-filled #bookshelves ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

No, it didn't work! So, I'm thinking of leaving it to the midnight elves to fix the #story, since I *need* to finish #writing it.

Whaddayamean, the elves are the #writer-ly equivalent of an urban legend?!

D'YOU KNOW HOW MANY #writers NEED THEM AS A LAST RESORT???

The time Franz Kafka pushed back on the "just be yourself" advice so blithely offered for social occasions ๐Ÿ˜
So true! Though I I am currently in the tropics (Bangladesh) so I would need to put an air conditioner on to use a blanket most of the year ๐Ÿ˜€
Except the villagers in #Frankenstein would probably be turning their pitchforks on EACH OTHER in order to get their hands on *this* gorgeous fellow!

Remember, nobody likes a show-off! ๐Ÿ˜€

Seriously though, well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
Yes, I was just going to say that but you ended with it. It sounds like a GREAT day!
So don't say you weren't warned! ๐Ÿ˜„

Just kidding, I'm actually very respectful. Even if I want to use something someone mentioned for #writing #inspiration (I've not really wanted to use anything verbatim), I've always thus far checked beforehand that they don't mind...

When you come across a #bookish arch that is SO pretty, you know that *it's going to be a while* before you even manage to ENTER the actual #bookshop ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

This is so great to hear - it gives you hope for the future of #humanity ๐Ÿ™‚

(And of #teachers, who deserve FAR more appreciation than we give them these days!)

Man teaching a novel this week has been a DREAM. Everyone read it. Everyone had complex thoughts about it. They helped me notice brand new things about a book I've read at least six times. Time flew so fast just talking to each other, no electronics, that we didn't even realize class was over
I, alas, did not. But I don't have access to a public #library right now anyway.

So, does it count if you spend 6 hours #reading at home instead?

(I mean, I didn't do that either, but at least that is something aspirational for me ๐Ÿ˜€)
