Just attended an incredible talk by Ken Follet and Kate Mosse and got my 20 year old, fiercely loved copy of Labyrinth signed by the lovely Kate too! Very happy. 🥰🥰 #cheltlitfest #katemosse

Dream come true today - I saw my first piece of writing, "The Taverner's Tale", published in T'Art Press's anthology "Between Queer Teeth"! If you're curious, you can find it here www.t-artpress.co.uk/anthology

If, like me, you're a cisgender woman who supports trans rights, please sign this open letter to reject the narrative that trans+ people are a threat.

Felt a bit guilty saying I'd never been, but I did say that as an outdoor swimmer and a supporter of trans rights, I'd always prefer the swimming spaces I attend to be trans-inclusive. I'm so glad to hear lots of people are having a say!

There are many different ways to be bi, and maybe sometimes that creates some confusion in people who don't experience it. I think Ted Lasso said it best - "be curious, not judgemental." 4/4

People do see me with my partner and assume I'm straight, which sucks. But I love being bi, and I'm lucky to be in a position where I'm safe to be open about it. Not everyone has that luxury. 3/

Bisexuality is trans inclusive, despite what some say. It's also different for everyone. Some people have preferences, some don't, some find their preferences change over time or from day to day. All these experiences are valid,all are part of the bisexual identity. 2/

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day! Bisexuality comes in many forms - I realised I was bi about 11 years ago, 5 years into my relationship with my partner, a man. I'm still queer, still bi, still experience attraction to people of the same and different gender as me. 1/

Just written to my MP to ask her to support parliamentary scrutiny for the updated EHRC Guidance relating to Trans Rights. I can't stand by while LGBT+ rights in Britain are eroded. If you'd like to join me, please check out www.transsolidarityalliance.com

This might not be the healthiest way to write, but it's my favourite, for obvious reasons.

Brain does love to do the whole "here's an idea" thing as I'm falling asleep. I wonder if this will be as funny in the light of day.

Because I'm an anxiety riddled muppet I've been worried that there was a mistake when my short story was accepted for publication. Turns out they really did want my story! Just a childhood dream coming true over here, no biggie (actually, it's a big biggie)

Writing on my lunch break. It feels like a slow process but every time I put pen to paper, a little more of the story comes together.

Is three a reasonable number of writing notebooks to be carrying round on a day out? Asking for a friend. 👀 #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky

I think I might be dreaming. Just found out that my first short story, "The Taverner's Tale" is going to be published in an anthology! I'm going to be a published writer! BRB, I'm going to cry with happiness some more.

In Wincheater Waterstones yesterday, my friend called me over and pointed to this section of the shelf and said "this is where your books will go!". I love her so much.

Attending an online writing retreat run by @writershq.bsky.social and I am so annoyed at how difficult I'm finding it to concentrate in this heat. Involuntary sweat is GROSS.

Okay folks! We’ve a real opportunity here. This petition is at 78,000 (ends 28 July!). With a good push, we can get it over the line.

How many other writer types get ideas as they're falling asleep and have to squint at their phone screens in the dark to write them down before they forget? The ideas aren't even necessarily good in the light of day! 😂

I'm filling out my MC'S backstory in the run up to the events of the book and I made myself sad. 😂
