Really going with the Dame Edna librarian vibe. The perks in having a 'good personality.'

I'm a librarian and still have to look up the word librarian as it looks wrong every time I write it!!!! Weird, huh?
I'm a professional writer and spent 15 years as an editor and publisher and the word embarrassment? I have to look it up every time. Including in this post. How embarrassing.
Hello, I'm a professional author and I can never spell permanently or camouflage on the first try.
Come, make me feel better and share your nemesis words.

We were so inspired hearing Alex McCormick speak at the #ReadingRights summit about her fundraiser to support Spellow Library after the riots.
Libraries are vital community hubs that can level the playing field for children and families.

I would like to introduce this fungi as the USS Enterprise. My sister thought 'toilet lid' and my husband suggested a 'tractor seat.'
Unsure if that says much about us? - feel free to comment if can offer a better interpretation 😜 🍄

Due to health I have missed so much especially family, students and colleagues. Not only that but the first children's book festival and school author visit too. Though beyond sad please support the amazing talent visiting Lincoln! @cressidacowell.bsky.social @aliceoseman.bsky.social
