All right, I'll answer this month about my ongoing web novella, The Villa Delacroix:
Four writers on holiday enter a villa on the coast of a Swiss lake. When the time comes to leave, all but one of them will be dead.

Good evening #pretendpanel! This one comes courtesy of @svrtnsse.bsky.social:

February 2nd: What characterises your voice?

(or should I say 'characterizes' for the Americans? 😜)

Welcome to #pretendpanel - the bonus round!

Let's do a silly hypothetical for fun. It's not a panel this time, it's An Evening With [your name], famous author. 

February 1st: What's the theme song you come on stage to?

My theme song which will get me writing without fail no matter my mood is 'The Time is Now' by Moloko. So I would HAVE to walk on stage to it.

This clip has not been taken out of context. He was genuinely telling men to “go for way younger because they wouldn’t know any better” when giving them advice on finding a wife.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Writers, you might be struggling rn.

Math might help.

No, seriously.

If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year.

If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year.

Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

THREAD TIME #pretendpanel!
It's kinda funny to me that I scheduled this on such a resonant day, given what I just experienced. It was the final workshop of the Te Papa Tupu programme (an incubator programme for Māori writers, check out my blog if you want to know more)

1/🧵
I'm late to #pretendpanel cos I stayed out til 9pm with my 5yo in Wellington, playing with the Bucket Fountain. If you don't know it, look it up, it's a wonder of the world 😅

January 30th: What do you see in the future for your writing career?
