Left UK with heavy anxiety, feeling like I will never sell/write another book. Scribbling in notebooks in the sun with no expectations is how writing used to feel. Fun! Really hoping this trip is going to leave me inspired and refreshed in spite of catching a head cold. #marrakesh

I think this is going to be my book of the year. Just exquisite. I could underline every sentence. Don’t know whether to seethe with jealousy or just bow down and worship. Andrew Miller. Genius.

There’s a Turkish phrase about the upside of hitting rock bottom being that things can’t get any worse. It goes göte giren şemsiye açılmaz and it means “an umbrella up one’s ass cannot be opened”

Children's books build empathy, compassion, and understanding. They can transport readers to whole new worlds and back again, all without leaving your sofa. They can comfort, they can delight.
They are magical.

Adding my own plea to Fleur’s. I thought Cathy had started a new account as it had photos I recognised. There is too much of this going on. Protect yourselves by checking before following and changing your own passwords frequently. And yes, report the f***ers.
There are many fake accounts appearing across all SM. Today I found a false Cathy Hopkins on Insta, (it's the one with the 11 in their name) and despite her best efforts, @juliesykesbooks.bsky.social is struggling with a fakester over on FB.
Please check accounts before following, please report.
