Love this collection of properly spooky short stories. “More Tales to Keep You Up At Night” by @danpoblocki.bsky.social weird, creepy and quirky. I know some children in Year 5 and 6 who will love this. The tales feel classic but often have a modern twist. Fab! @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

A recent observation that makes me unbelievably happy: I’ve seen youths boldly wearing full glam club-kid drag makeup just out and about. Like just chilling in parking lots and going shopping for antiques. A+, no notes.

Noticed some accidental poetry in the fine print of a Wendy’s ad: “Unlimited-time does not mean forever.” Nice.

I received notes from my editor on next year's ghost story novel, and it's so strange to read through words I don't even remember writing last year.
Also, it's pretty good, if I do say so myself! Haha...
