Oh yay, new followers! Be forewarned, I spend too much time on here 💀 Expect book recs, RTd poems, assorted niche enthusiasms, bitching about housework, a lot of dog pics, random internet hilarity, and occasional reminders that I write books—specifically the ones below, perfect for spooky season!

Holy crap this would be amazing 🤩 that's less than half the time it takes to drive!
With Alto high speed rail, it will be faster to get from Ottawa to Montreal than it is to get to the Ottawa airport from Centretown.
Alto YOW-YUL: 0:58min
LRT Byward-YOW airport:1:02min

Shirley Jackson is one of my writing saints because she's so iconic not just as a writer but as a human. She raised 4 kids while writing such kickass books that she outearned her husband! (who needed to get in the sea not least bc he was pissy about this)
She also wrote a couple collections (1/2)

Thank God for Shirley Jackson, honestly, because all I want is to be spooked a little and also be reassured about how hard parenting is in a lighthearted way, and she delivers on both.

BSky! Since 16yo's school formal is a ✨️✨️masquerade ball✨️✨️ we have been mask making today
So I thought I would share with you the delightfully simple and easy mask making technique I learned as a teenager! Way less complicated, time consuming, and messy than paper mache!

Short stories still confound and bewilder me, but a poem a month sounds like a really good idea. I should do this. 💪
Next years plans are the same as the ones that started getting me published. Write and submit at least one short story or poem a month. It's a good plan, gets rid of preciousness.
