aw yiss just found me sticker trove again while looking for something else i can't remember now, just in time to decorate my 2026 diary for next week! i have CATS in HANBOK with GAT and SO MANY cute pandas

if i don’t open the door quickly enough for my dog, he sniffs loudly at me like a disapproving old dowager until i do at this point it’s hard to tell who has trained whom

them: "your plots are so complex and there are so many subtle clues planted all through your series, plus the TIME TRAVEL you must be so clever!" me: *trying desperately to remember to call my friend of 15 years by the right name because her name is Vic and my character's name is Viv*

i really need to start writing but i also need to finish eating and my dog is also very cute and my brain is also tidying up all the thoughts from yesterday and this morning and it's also quite warm and there are also flies in the house and buzzing madly against the window and

scaring the life out of my dog every time the Hurricanes hit a six is the secret delight of my heart* *and also probably why i'm not married

every day with pots 😩😂

of course it's the fourth book in a slow-burn romance arc! you will now, at every point possible, be subjected to a detailed catalogue of the mmc's forearms, hands, and shoulders, and the muscles therein, as well as the inability of his wardrobe to conceal those details.

i am a machine, fuelled by chaos and bacon and tea and a single scone with jam and cream

i see this week's Writerly Issue to fight about is "my wife/husband always reads my wip & if yours doesn't they don't support/love you" i don't need a partner to read my books. for why? unless they're also a writer (or editor, etc) they're likely not someone with the skillset to be helpful

writer’s tip: if you match your earrings to your Beths t-shirt, no one will be able to tell that you’re still in the same t-shirt you slept in 👍🏻

it's 1st day of period & as all the stage 4/5 endo girls know, that means spending most of the day in bed but today it also means watching old shows on the tv while writing, and butter chicken with naan, while the dog sits on my feet and pretends that he's not gazing longingly at the butter chicken
