Ten days to write this year's @wordfairy advent calendar. This year's theme: Books What I Have Found This Year. Any thoughts on the titles in this pic, feel free to comment (and yes, there are 13 other titles out of shot). Cover me, I'm going in...

Swear I didn’t order this signed copy of #Folk by #ZoeGilbert. What a dreamy mystery to unpick! Was it you? First line - no, first word = splendid.

There are Days for everything (cats, garlic, ties), but National Poetry Day must bring out our inner poster, so here's a fave. Rhyming? Yes. Delicate? A bit. But that ending… boom. Also love Dorothy Parker, Brian Bilston, Harry Baker, John Hegley, Georgie Jonez, and my mate Diana @voxerbrand. Grand.

Sometimes, a happy thing occurs and the buzz never fades. Top of my list: a proposal, + preg test, one or two especially fab haircuts... and finding myself, somehow, on this shortlist:

Two things I discovered today:
1) My name is still fiendishly tricky for some people to get over the phone (yes I talked slowly).
2) Anyone can be the other person on a Two Together railcard, not just the named partner. So cool.
3) I procrastinate less with deadlines.
(Three things, then)

All words my own? Yes, actually. At this point, it's still a big yes.

Poetry warning, readers look out –
For the next 6 weeks I'll be playing about
With rhetoric: rhythm and stanza and meter,
Sometimes I'll rhyme, sometimes I won't.
Thanks to my teachers at CSFG –
English aint everyone's cup of tea,
For me it was totally heavenly.
(Sorry, bit twee)

Thanks @Netflix for scheduling the new @queereye series just after New Year, when resolutions feel too much like hard work, and all we want is a dash of glitter, a sprinkle of hope, and some magic house renovations. (Enough of the messy-room-shaming, though. You never have old cheese in the fridge?)

Am at the 'Oh Holy Night' bit of the festive schedule. You know, the kind of week where you check your iPhone notes and the last entry reads:
Chess bowls
Chicken out
Man with bat
None of that can be remotely important, but what if it is? #makeitstop

Afternoon thought, exploring representation of character on my Creative Writing MA. The #BechdelTest sets 3 criteria for a text (film, book, play) that:
i) involves at least two women
ii) who talk to each other
iii) about something besides a man.
Not judging, just can't think...
Mind blank. Anyone?
