We have crows nesting at the end of our garden and I LOVE THEM but maybe not at half six in the morning when I've been up working all night. Like guys. Hit snooze.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

Tonight I'm gonna treat myself to a bit of proofreading and you better believe I am HYPED

Made a mistake by having my favourite tattoos above my knees so now every summer outfit feels like a waste unless you can see them

HYPE

📚 PROOFREADING AVAILABILITY 📚 I'm open to projects for proofreading from the end of June onwards! I'm getting to the end of my current "to do" list so it's time to book me up 👀 £0.005/word No gen AI Any genre Reply or DM to discuss!

Positives: Got the day off tomorrow Dawn chorus Negatives: I'm currently on 0 sleep and it's after 4am

I was going to buy myself new curtains because these really let the light in but... I can see the moon through them so

First physical copy of HALLOWEEN spotted out in the wild 🥲 I love that chaos story so much

Trying gel in my curly hair for the first time pray for me

MY NEW EDITION OF MARSHMALLOWS JUST ARRIVED YOU CAN GET ONE TOO AT THE LINK THIS IS THE 2025 RE-RELEASE OF THE BOOK ORIGINALLY FROM 2022 YAY relinks.me/B0FGYG1LK1

Listening to Candy Necklaces on repeat because I'm unable to make good decisions

Very grateful for simple, happy days 🌷

What do you mean I have to do things with my day other than hide in my room.

My favourite pride celebration is once again on my grandma's birthday so I will once again be pulling a double shift as one of the queer grandkids 🌈

It's been mental health awareness week and I am so so so aware.

Me and my beautiful new bow had a jolly good time at the range tonight so I'm going to become insufferable, sorry

Happy birthday Dante Gabriel Rossetti you would have loved cracking open a cold one with the boys

Please buy my books 🙏 NQO is sad and rainy and full of yearning and cute moments. It's a slow-burn. They're a bit codependent. It's cute okay??? linktr.ee/LouWrites?ut...

Just bought myself a new archery kit and I am FIZZING

Didn't get to watch anything star wars related today 💔

I don't know what it is about this song but my goodness does it feel perfect to me open.spotify.com/track/3tEfgA...

I am so so tired but I refuse to miss out on things so like off I go I guess

I'm not rural BUT I am currently being kept awake by the dawn chorus and as we turned onto my road at 4:30am we had to stop because a red deer stag was munching someone's garden

Managed to accidentally write a stunning parallel into this new WIP, just give me the publishing deal already 😅

Sometimes I see oyster catchers at a lake near home and I always get so excited. You are Holiday Birds. Why you here.

Turns out I function a lot better when I'm not at work Who Knew

Terry Pratchett is a lifelong inspiration to me as an artist and as a person. His writing changed the way I think about humanity, myself, world events, history, power, religion, death, aging, wisdom, magic, libraries, imagination, kindness, and loss. When in doubt- read a Terry Pratchett book.

HEY hypothetically if I was searching for some simple (cutesy, gentle, dreamy, cartoon) art to support a long-term charity campaign who might be interested in working with me?

Heading home from Edinburgh and I feel completely and utterly unstable like how do I go from having so much fun to whatever my real life is

I've been on trains a lot recently and now I understand why people sit in quiet carriages 🫠 I don't want to hear your music or your phone conversation thanks I'm already very overwhelmed

Hit play on a rather dusty playlist this afternoon 👀 open.spotify.com/playlist/0MP...

Full chaos today and by that I mean - I barely slept (on-call) - I filmed like 6 reels - I left the house without checking my bag (what's in it?!) - I actually don't know how or when I'm getting home - hydration? Don't know her It's just a girl and her tote bag against the world

When your author drops her latest book into your inbox for proofreads a month early 😍😍😍 I love my job

I miss being around people who understand science

This was intense! Couldn’t put it down. Being inside William’s head was pretty tense! But so worth it. What a treat! 😍🥰 Go read “Not quite out” by @louwrites.bsky.social is you haven’t already ❤️

I'm giving plasma in a couple of weeks and what if I throw up during it

Last night I had a dream that Matt was still here, or was visiting, and we talked about Artemis II and he was just like "wait until you see what comes next" so I'm going to be crying all day

Am I gonna have to get an Artemis tattoo

Unfortunately I was born to proofread on trains while listening to sad girl music and sipping an oat milk latte

Either I get a break or I have a breakdown dealer's choice

Today I learned that I work with people who don't believe that humans have landed on the moon and the only way I could respond was to laugh

Happy Easter to me who wrote the most miserable and gut-wrenching fic for the NQO universe

THE SOUND OF MUSIC IS ON TV

Tonight I feel inclined to burn everything and disappear so I guess my hormones/the stars are doing something

Listened to a conversation about gen ai yesterday and y'all I have never been more proud of my TWO DEGREES which I earned with essays and assignments and reports and exams I'd written entirely by myself.

I feel so severely isolated from my friends man like everyone has moved away and has kids and difficult demanding schedules and I'm here like 🪴 wanna see pics of my new plants 🪴

I know exactly where I am in my hormonal cycle because I cried because D mentioned preferring museums about humans to museums about dinosaurs 🫡

Will my joint pain keep me awake tonight STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT
