Sending my book to authors I admire was one of the most nerve-wracking parts of the whole process, so to receive these lovely quotes from @cathgraywrites @Oliviapetter1 @geeewheeler @ChezSpecter and more was an incredible feeling. Under four weeks until Main Character is out ✨

@DEVIALET I mentioned above – I emailed but have not heard anything back from that email address for over a week. Can you help?

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

@DEVIALET Hi, I'm trying to get in touch to interview one of your representatives for a feature. Haven't heard anything back from the generic press email – can you help please?

A tea towel to remember my latest cohort of @cbcreative students by - and their books! Not likely to forget them anyway , a supremely talented group of individuals and wonderful human beings. A joy to work with and now to dry dishes with :)

big secret to happiness is just liking stuff. finding more stuff to like. finding ways to like stuff you didn’t before. recognizing what it feels like to like something and doubling down on that. what feels frivolous is actually the whole ballgame

For a pitch I'm working on – I'm looking for examples of public architecture (preferably recent) which is designed to be welcoming to people visiting alone. Can any architects/urbanists help with this one?

@EliArieh UHM, not fair Eli, I want a Solero plant too!

@charlotteffry Hi Charlotte! Glad you think so! I’ll share the piece once it’s done

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

Hello! A question for any therapists I know on here - is there a conversation within therapy circles around financial ethics eg if a client is in a position where they’re struggling to pay (and it’s affecting their life elsewhere), would you recommend they stop?

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

@Rebecca_Nassiri Hi Rebecca! Hope you're good. Just sent you an email re a trend report I'm writing - hopefully it's come through to your inbox OK!

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

@EliArieh (also – breakfast that blends into lunch... that's a trajectory I want to be on, always)

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

@EliArieh So sorry for your loss, Eli. After my grandad's funeral last December, my mum (his daughter) said in earnest: 'Well, at least it was a good family reunion'. It's very special that you could all celebrate your grandparents' lives together in that way.

@lfnand Hi Lisa! Would love to hear more - [email protected]

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

@DavidNWriter Ah yes... and now I can see why! Love the visual

[Francesca Specter @ChezSpecter]

@hanwints HANNAH! You were not kidding when you said this was big. This is amazing!

@EllenCScott @BBCWomansHour (Have to ask: how do you make all these drinks at home?!)
