Good luck to everyone making pies today. 🥧

Stuck in place you don’t want to be this Thanksgiving? I got you! Like every year, I can be your boss, angry/needy boyfriend, friend in trouble, the mob, or whatever you need on the phone. Also happy to yell at your racist uncle. Price? Purchase a copy of this beauty! Rescue and a book, baby.

Find yourself someone who bakes a pumpkin pie so good it doesn’t need whipped cream and never let them go.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I retrace my snowy footsteps back towards the gate, sweeping my lantern in front of me, keen to see even the faintest glint in the drifts. The light bounces off an object pushed into the snowbank by the garden gate. It's glass. 1/3
It's not until you've bundled inside, stomped ice from boots and burned lips on hot chocolate, that you realize you lost your necklace out there in the drifts. You suit back up, search in the waning light, but the necklace remains lost. What do you find instead?

I get asked a lot for advice I'd give first time writers and honestly, it's... just get the words on the page. That's it. Don't worry about anything else until you've got the words on the page. Let that first draft be messy and glorious and fun. Deal with the rest of it later.

400 words written. Really hard to focus with it being Thanksgiving week. So much to do. But I hope to make some good progress in between the chaos.

Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after… *gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.

Maybe you think it’s okay to get in here and insult and berate folks who use AI to make “art,” and I’m here to tell you that you’re right. Good job, everyone. Keep it up. Much love.

“No. It is one of the black arts.”
He nodded. “But a useful one,” he said.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Something that's really important to me, especially as I've gotten older, is hearing people own their mistakes. We're all human. We all fuck up at times. But it's okay. Own it. Learn from it. If you're in the wrong, don't shift the blame elsewhere. Acknowledge, learn, grow.

Hey, the minute I throw those cables away I’ll need them.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
