Had my NHS Getting Old Health Check at the weekend. Guess what? I need to lose weight and I don't do enough exercise! Shocker!! Dopamine-dressing perimenopausal writer over here, happy to be fat, radical, working together with other creative people, and forever outraged by injustice. ❤️ #Booksky

Monetisation The advert said MONETISE YOUR FOLLOWERS so he thought he would respond by painting them in the changing light, like waterlilies in a pond.

Last week we celebrated National Blonde Brownie Day, and guess what? Today is National Chocolate Cake Day! I definitely see more baking in my (near) future. 😁 #ChocolateCakeDay #DessertTime#Chocolate#Chocolate

It's a planning day. If you need me I'll be filling my calendar for the next couple of months, and trying to make sure I get some days off! #Monday #Freelancing #WritersLife

Any other Dystopia writers realising their books should be in the 'Current Affairs' section? I honestly thought that an entire country switching off the civilian internet was one of my more far-fetched dystopian ideas. Say it with me: 'dystopian fiction is a warning, not an instruction manual'.
