Such a pleasure to talk to a writer like @kitdewaal.bsky.social — smart, empathetic, funny and super-talented. Her new novel THE BEST OF EVERYTHING is out now, and it’s great!

Thank you so much for this Rae (and happy Christmas!).
Mari, I've read many books this year; some are amazing, some not, and some are total rot.
So far, I have 16 - 5 star reads

Never knew this book had a glow-in-the-dark cover! (But don’t like how haunted Beyond Black looks with the lights off. 😨)

I’m at that stage in my draft where I’ve decided every book in my house needs to be alphabetised.

I've made an executive decision to start Baileys season early this year. (If they can play Christmas at me wherever I go, then I can drink Baileys.)

What are your writing hacks for when you get stuck in a story or novel? Mine are to jump to a different point in the story, or to try telling the story from a different character’s point of view to see what happens. #writinghacks #writersofbluesky

I’m doing #nanowrimo over on my insta and TikTok. Anyone else do it? I use it to bounce myself into a daily writing schedule and as a way of problem solving plot issues.
