It amazes me how many people give up their credibility just to get views.

The SOE women were so incredibly brave.

I meet more than a few people who think getting the book deal is the final step.

I’m all like ‘congrats’ but if you want my unsolicited advice, start marketing yourself now, because publishing does not equal sales.

She was an unbelievable artist. Her stuff is haunting.

Just read another article about the amazing Tommy Douglas. I do find a dissonance though, that the province that once supported him now elects guys like Scott Moe. How did the conservatives usurp the NDP as the voice of the average person?

She was an exceptional writer and I’ve always felt she should be included in the cannon of ‘classics’.

He is so brutally pathetic. I just can’t believe anyone wants to vote for him.

Empty threats. The US military knows that an invasion of Canada would be a loss on multiple fronts. They are neither organized nor provisioned to operate in North America. They cannot win protracted counter-insurgencies (see Afghanistan and Iraq). People need to stop giving this attention.

Yesterday I experienced that moment.

The one when you figure out the exact change your story needs to have everything fall into place and be the book you dreamed of it being.

So magical!

Sometimes I need a break from writing. Sometimes those breaks are long.

But I never worry they’re going to be forever. Inevitably my brain says ‘ok, I’m good now’ and the stories start up again.

My son started reading Pride and Prejudice on his own initiative, and it was a moment for me.

So hard when your son tells you something from 2000 is outdated.

Those ultra right wing platforms are scary on multiple levels, but particularly for the lengths they will go to discredit people who call them out.

I got accused of being a CIA plant on TikTok just last week!! Espionage is a topic that brings out some bizarre people …
