Been trying to write poetry but within a line or two I feel like words don’t make sense anymore. I don’t know how you poets do it!

Is there anywhere on this app to follow or be aware of for freelance writing opportunities? I can write about travel, Pokémon, tarot and spirituality, astrology, the paranormal, books with a focus on fiction and romance books, and pets and pop culture, but happy to take on anything!

‘We will not be moving forward with your application. Please see our job board for other positions better suited to your skills’ and the job you’ve been rejected for is the one you’ve done for ten years and you’re currently doing now. I hate job applications.

Love when you block someone online, and they go out of their way to find you and comment with their second accounts. Unhinged. Always interesting when they think you’ve blocked them because you’re the one who has done something wrong, when really you cba interacting with such weird people 😅😂

Querying a manuscript for an agent never gets any better. Rejection after rejection. Think I might give up on the agent search/murder mystery route for now!

Other than my own, A Con Affair?

Well, For the Fans for most explicit maybe, but I also found it hella problematic and struggled to finish it. Look Up, Handsome by @jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social is also pretty horny, but in a tamer, gentler, sweeter way.

I need to read more horny books

I’ve just come to the end of watching Desperate Housewives for the first time 😭

Annoying watching TikTok at the min because it’s all full of ‘Americans are gone’…and yet we all knew they would be back, and the servers are back on so it’s all been pointless discussing it xo

The weird thing about working in a bookshop as an author is when a browsing customer picks up your book and remarks on it. This time, someone picked it up and their daughter walked over and said ‘oh, that’s the Jack Strange one’ - neither of them knew I was Jack Strange, but she knew my name 😭

Today I finished reading Look Up, Handsome by @jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social

The book helped kick off the year with some Hallmark-Christmas-romance-save-the-bookstore vibes.

I got Look Up, Handsome by @jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social last night at the bookstore. Out sightseeing today, so I had to also get the ebook so I can keep reading it while out today (no shame in my reading game). It’s the perfect Christmas rom-com! 10/10, no notes.

@jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social is an absolute legend and Look Up, Handsome is a must read for the festive season. I'll post a review soon but safe to say I loved it, it's every bit as gorgeous as Riccardo Bessa's cover.

Finished my mini book tour with a 3 course meal with a bookclub in Cambridge. Great to meet the club and the readers. But also been great to have met so many readers at events since Look Up, Handsome published in September. I’ve had a jolly and gay time of it!

Awkward when you’re scrolling through TikTok and come across a vid of someone saying they’re not enjoying the book you wrote. All fine, but no where is safe to try and avoid people reviewing my work 😭😂
