A small dog stops to stare at a restaurant. His owner can't get him away. He is fascinated by the woman inside who is cleaning the windows with a cloth - soap spraying from her movements in great arcs across the glass.

All the leaves on our ginkgo tree have fallen, carpeting our driveway in sunshine. Also, it took me ages before I could consistently type "ginkgo" correctly, so I am happy to have an excuse to use it today.

I would love a beautiful large community garden with veggies and fruit. A nice open space where everyone can hang out and have some tables and play games and do gardening and just have a nice third space where the community can just exist with each other.

Shout out to the people who come up to me at book launches or book store events and say hi! I saw you on a panel or at so and so...I'm a fan or I'm reading your book now!

I'm always shocked when anyone knows me. I appreciate you.

No man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

"... but what it translates roughly to is 'she made a difference and did her not hide her abundant gifts away stingily'. I think most of those who have known me will admit that fits me pretty well.”

Writing Tip:
Find your flaw. Or in this case, find your character's flaw. Don't just create a character based on positive attributes. Give them some negative attributes to even it out. This also gives opportunities to design some character growth by overcoming them.

A little tip for you new GMs and players. The phrase 'are you sure you want to do that?' Is not a random clarification. It's GM code for 'You're about to try steal the king's crown in front of hundreds of knights in the throne room and likely going to cause a party wipe. You sure?'

POND WATER (a text from my mum, that I have turned into a poem)
Bridget was round my neck
All night
I thought
It was affection
But I see from the weather
That she was just
Sucking the warmth from me
She smelled
Just like pond water
We have the plumber
Coming
To fit a new shower

Last month, greater Boston children’s book publishers, booksellers, and librarians gathered for “good old community-building” at the inaugural Kid Lit Night, hosted by Nosy Crow and Charlesbridge Publishing. The hope is to foster local industry connections through more events in the future.

To remove the names and faces of Black liberators from public view is to devalue that currency, to whitewash the ledger of history. We cannot claim to honor “all who served” if we selectively edit who is remembered.

Out today! Super excited to share a new essay with you: “The Duchess Who Invented Science Fiction,” a silly and sincere ode to my beloved Margaret Cavendish, a 17th-century duchess who teaches us to 1. think speculatively and 2. wear ridiculous outfits.
