I think this is something my #edibuddies will enjoy. This quiz is meant to estimate the size of your English vocabulary: vocabowl-870366514258.us-west1.run.app I came across it on a recent episode of The Rest Is Science & am chuffed to have done quite well.

Finished reading Evenings & Weekends by Oisín McKenna this week and loved it. It has such a tactile sense of place and time plus characters whose wholeness stretched beyond the bounds of the story for me. 💙📚🖋️

It's been a full week. Finished a BIG edit and the client is happy. Dismantled the back deck so that foundation work can begin. And went on a lovely stet walk with new friends, one human and one canine! Now for a weekend of pleasure reading. 📚 #AmEditing #AmDemolishingThings #AmWalking #AmReading

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Today's #StetWalk ☀️

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.

Montreal artist Laurence Petit, aka La fée des trottoirs just visited Saint-Henri and left a tiny work of sidewalk art behind. ❤️

Well, I'm missing the sunny spring weather we've had the last while. But an overcast day with a strong cup of tea can be perfect for some deep focus, so I'm making the best of it. #AmEditing #LunchTime

So Kindle is removing tech support from its device, pretty much requiring people to buy new ones, and introducing ads. This is why we sell our ReBound press books on Kobo. Also for ideological reasons: Amazon has been terribly destructive too booksellers and publishers, and I refuse to support it.

So far I’m really enjoying Black Butterflies by Priscilla Morris. Still deciding how I feel about stories being classified as historical fiction when they’re set during my lifetime. I guess I’m historical now? 😅 ⏳📚💙📚🖋️

'Do the names we give to our feelings make certain feelings possible?' A beautiful article 🧡 #writers #amwriting #writingcommunity lithub.com/lisa-lee-on-...

The answer, it will not surprise you, is mostly "have a wife and servants"

White Cat, Black Dog by Kelly Link was fantastic, and it made me want to read The Doll’s Alphabet by Camilla Grudova again. Both are fabulously surreal. What delightfully bizarre short story collection would you recommend for me next? 🖋️📚💙📚🪐📚💬 app.thestorygraph.com/books/484b62...

Sometimes I buy a book even though I won't have time to read it because I want to make a tiny vote for, "Yes. I want this. I'll pay money for this. Please put more of this in the world." #books #reading #booksky

"The easiest reading is damned hard writing." (Thomas Hood) When I read a book that feels effortless to read, I think of the labour that made it feel that way. It may have taken hundreds of hours to write, and as many to edit. Both are invisible crafts. #nonfiction #writing #writerslife #Booksky
