My first post since joining! 🎉 Hoping to make some friends in the #amwriting and #amquerying world, as I'm currently querying what I hope will become my debut 🥹 If you like smart, sassy YA characters, queer and neurodivergent #ownvoices, and speculative worlds with dark elements, I'm your guy/gal!!

Bit of a reverse Black Friday tip. Go buy a book from an independent bookshop. While the richest companies in the world have another bonanza, put a smile on the face of a struggling writer and bookseller. Thank you x

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

You’re not violating a reading rule if you opt not to finish a book that's not resonating with you. Life is finite and we thus have a finite number of books to read. Reading shouldn’t be a chore. You needn’t feel guilty for ensuring that your time reading is spent reading things that you love.

“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books”

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
-Plato

I'm hyper critical of museums because I work so closely with them, but as spaces where you can go and literally just 'hang out' with ancient history they truly are unique.

Feeling down?
Go sit next to an old pot/fossil/painting.
It won't necessarily solve anything but it's still very grounding.

people ask, “how can I recover my sense of wonder?” take an interest in things. visit art galleries, hit up the library and discover-browse. read widely. learn new languages, new words. watch old films. the world is a wonderful place but wonder is a muscle that must be cultivated like any other.
