First vomit bullet points for a young chapter book idea getting it out of my head and down relief feels.

Always feels like a load off your brain 😆 just need to start writing it, but that's a future me problem. Not a right now one.

Is there a word for when you've read a book so good you sort of have a space to grief and ruminate upon it?!

ERMAGAD LOOK WHATS ARRIVED AT CHOCOLIT!! It's a gorgeous cover. I had planned to do some writing this afternoon, but that will have to wait as I get stuck into this! Absolutely loved BoSaS so hope this is as good.

Had a great time at The London Book Fair yesterday! Caught up with my publisher, brainstorming the next Band Book! Had some great meetings and chats, and ran into some pals! Then topped it off with Jamie Hammonds book launch for his amazing Grumpfort! What a day!

Only just sat down after putting a delivery away at the bookshop! Gonna read a bit of this new one from Padraig Kenny and then try and attempt some of my own writing whilst it's quiet. Everyone must be out enjoying the sunshine!

Super quiet in the bookshop today so have been sketching this little guy up. Ponchos are surprisingly tricky. But very pleased with his left paw there 😆

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.

I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Hand sewed a bolt of wool into an anglo saxon cloak, and dyed it to be a tad less 'low status' to brown. Its a bit patchy but hoping that makes it more authentic looking 😆 last minute prep for the @jorvikviking.bsky.social festival this weekend! #TheHaestingas #anglosaxon #jorvikvikingfestival

There is someone or someones who lets their dog wee on our bookshop step and I always just miss catching who it is! It's so rude, anyone could walk that into the shop. Drives me mad!
Dog owners, please don't let your dog wee on bookshops 😆

The best thing about working in a bookshop is getting your mitts on proofs before they're published! This isn't gonna be out for MONTHS yet and I'm so excited. Songlight was one of my fave books last year!!
