Quote of the day :

Them: Where are you from?
Me: Ireland!
Them: Oh, such a beautiful city!
Me: ...
Me: ... It's a country...

I know it's small but.... 😭

If you happen to find this crappy doodle in a Tokyo bar, take a picture of it and send it to me, I WILL SEND YOU A SIGNED BOOK.

(To be clear - one of my books. Signed by me 😅)

Sometimes I get asked why I write.

The truth is that I have a genetic condition where my body produces too many stories and so I have to drain them out with ink.

🥰

That's amazing 😂

I don't think that issue would have occurred to me!

The joys of getting older...

I used to wake up feeling better and more refreshed than when I went to sleep. Now I wake up with backpain and tiredness 😭

Now to edit the WIP and change the entire setting to another country... And all the cultural changes that entails...

Why did I do this to myself again?

Woot!! Excited for this to see the world! 😀

I'm going to hold your hand while I say this...read my books. No, stop trying to pull away. Why are you screaming?? They're good books, just calm down and read them!

Instead of sleeping later on account of the nonsense that is Daylight Savings, I woke up even earlier 😭

Had a very surreal moment today when I challenged a scammer who'd approached me in an underground parking lot about how his story didn't line up

Sorry buddy, but finding plot holes is like half my job

I'm sure it'll be great!! 😃

Meanwhile I'm over here dreading to write the sequels looking over my head 😂

So truuuuue

According to my handy-dandy Writing Progress Excel Sheet I created just before the pandemic, I have written more words this month than any other month since 2020.

Now to many more months like this one!

Face reveal. Wrong answers only.

I have one word for this and it's "Ew."

Oh to be as happy and fulfilled as a cat in a box.

There are days when the muse strikes and then there are days when every word is a battle.

Omg the irony 😭

It's crazy, some companies start borderline stalking you when you end your contract with them in an attempt to convince you to come back.

I've gotten a call around 8 am every day for the past week from the same company.

Next they're gonna stand on my lawn...
