"Long before AI, we were creating high-level intelligent agents: kids. While the challenges that AIs provoke today seem novel, in reality, they echo fundamental and ancient questions about what it means to be human." noemamag.com/ai-could-be-a-…
There are few feelings like finishing the first draft of a novel. Now I'll set it aside, get some feedback, and work on other things. For now, I'm sitting with and acknowledging that feeling of pride. It may be in rough shape at this point and need work, but I have a story!
Writer Math: "If you think a piece is 100 percent done, it’s actually 45 percent done. To get it to 100 percent done, you can’t." mcsweeneys.net/articles/write…
"Going to the office" means something different now that I work remotely. It used to mean an unwanted commute. Now it means that sometimes I can't focus on my job and my writing projects in the same spot, so off I go to a cafe. I'm grateful to have that option.
I'm enjoying this! Kimberly Lemming gives a delightful interview about writing the fun fantasy romance she wanted to see. smartbitchestrashybooks.com/podcast/610-wh…
This is an incredible podcast episode about the diversity of neurodiversity! Cognitive scientist Maureen Dunne talks about the many ways neurodiversity can present, the advantages it offers, and how employment practices need to change. armchairexpertpod.com/pods/maureen-d…
Back in my student days, I played alto saxophone for three years in a jazz band, but I have never owned one. Until now. I found this in a secondhand shop. Look at the flower design etched into the metal. What a beautiful thing!
New blog post …And Here’s How the Songwriting Retreat Went! inspireenvisioning.com/2024/04/03/and…
A few life updates! Meet my new best friend, Hailey the Alaskan husky. I'm trying to keep in shape, and she really helps! Next year we'll travel to Norway to learn dog sled racing with a team. I'm also, slowly, training for the Loch Ness Marathon. April fools!
The latest resource I worked on for Mind Tools is about how to manage a hybrid team. What does hybrid working mean? What changes do you need to make as a manager to get the best out of your people when your workplace goes hybrid? Here are our top tips! mindtools.com/agixcer/manage…
Countryside scenes from my songwriting retreat. What an inspiring time with a talented bunch of people!
This poem from Becky Hemsley struck a chord with me. I'm developing a longer version of my play "An IQ Test for my Birthday," so I've been thinking about the impact of all those numbers people like to measure, and how life is much bigger than that. shorturl.at/ovEFQ
For International Women's Day, I've been adding some edits to women's biographical pages on Wikipedia. Last year I attended a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. I encourage you to check one out if you can, and to take part in the "Celebrate Women!" editing project. meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celebrate…
One of my fellow writers from the Tower Theatre Writers' Room, Lily Guy-Vogel, had her play "Swipe" performed at the Tower's Spring Forward show. I went to see it last week and loved it! A clever, relatable, and hilarious piece about dating in the age of apps.
Last night was the final rehearsal for my radio play Plan A before the Morley College actors record it next week. The characters and voice acting have fallen into place, and there's even original music. I can't wait to share it with all of you once it's done!
I read this over the weekend and loved it! "What you are looking for is in the library" is about a community librarian whose unusual reading recommendations help an assortment of characters to resolve their career dilemmas. amzn.to/3wz6aQA

Thank you so much to everyone who bought a copy. Most of my books haven't earned out (that's just how it goes for most books), so I'm very grateful.
Finished my book, and boy does it feel sweet. Just gotta do a last tidy-up, particularly of part 4 (of 4), and off it goes.
I asked people, "What do you want to see on a back cover?" Unanimous answer: What's inside?! Ask and you shall receive. (And thank you to @CaitlinMarceau for the lovely blurb 🤍)
THIS is why we support human artists!! @ChadWehrle would share me updates the whole way through, asked my input on design. Watching this piece unfold with small pen strokes & charcoal was incredible. He's made something special. Extremely honoured by this collaboration🖊️📖💀⌛️
Boom!! Look at this!! "The Truest Sense," a collection of Horrors; look for it June 11th from Cemetery Gates. Pre-order links available soon ⌛️ I couldn't be more overjoyed to share this stunning cover with you, @ChadWehrle is a genius.
What an honour to be included in the @MIPAD100! Thank you to whoever nominated me ☺️
look, some authors are out there being really really pretty and i admire them, but i wanted to say shout out to those of us who look like we just crawled out of a forest swamp or the depths of a toaster or got into a fight with the alphabet and lost
This is totally a valid reason for buying myself one of these Lindt eggs right??
@_nomadic_soul I know what I want and their opinions are never things I want.
@_nomadic_soul Not sure if I count as an AFAB NB person, but I want a little house in the woods where I can drink cups of tea, practice fiber arts, and write smut to my heart's content. Oh, and a little dog to sit at my feet and take on walks❤️

Coming to you from the other side of the query trenches to tell you that writing a synopsis isn't nearly as bad as you think it is. It's so much worse. #amwriting #writerscommunity
We are officially three weeks away from the release of SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN! My first-ever book is escaping into the world! So let’s play a game. Give me a page number between 1-300, and I’ll give you a random line from that page.
I’m looking for fellow writers over the age of 30! Those chasing creative pursuits when we’re supposed to be in our “settled” years? lol don’t get me wrong, I 🖤 the youths, but as an almost 34 year old, there’s an understandable gap of relatability with them #WritingCommunity
@LoreKeating Scotland? That seems entirely reasonable to me.
Watch out, going to make Northern Gothic a new home. No, not New England. Go further North, deeper into the woods, into the Atlantic ocean, into the Strange beyond the border and the other Borders.
A few folks told me in 2015 that I couldn’t make barrio noir a thing, that you can’t just create your own genre. Now French journalists are talking about it in Rolling Stone and calling me the genre’s “mayor.” Stick to your guns. Always.
The book has left the building. There are only two hard and fast rules of being a writer and the second one is: Celebrate Every Victory. I’m celebrating with a non-alcoholic beer in a champagne coupe, with a couple of cherries. #WritingCommunity
Wrote THE END last night at 22.45…today is a lightning edit and then I’ll send off the book. This is an epic rewrite of a novel I wrote last year—total restructure & rehaul in 6 weeks. The book is much improved, but ngl I’m looking forward to not working 12 hr days & 7 day weeks
Me starting out: This is going to be easy! Fast forward 13 years: 4 agents, countless rejection, acquisitions so many times, failing over & over again, watching others succeed, continuously fighting… ….to being on the cover of Publishers Weekly! I’m still reeling!! 📚🥹💀🔥
