@yummythicck @DarranSF Thank you for the suggestion!

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

@DarranSF @chersmithbooks Nope, totally free

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

@chersmithbooks @DarranSF Another writer told me about Speechify. I do a ton of research, and it's easier to have someone read it aloud for me. So I usually paste the info into Speechify. But it also helps a ton when I do editing.

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

@DarranSF Yes. When I'm working on a book, I want to be in bed, with snacks and coffee, and thematic soundtracks blaring in my ears. I managed 10k words in a day once.

But when it's for work, I just need coffee and no interruptions.

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

@DarranSF Same. I spent years learning how to use it and it's already loaded onto my computer, so why would I want to pay an x amount of money just to learn how to use a new program that has even less features than MS Word?

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

AWWWWW !!!

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

Wow. So many opportunities to chat with "Real life girls nearby"

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

@Alwyndeb Easy, then don't

My 2yo daughter ran onto the house this afternoon, and waved a stick at me. She told me that she's a pirate, and that she was going to use her sword to kill monsters.

Sir Terry would be proud.

@DannySalter At least it said award winning 🤷‍♀️

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

This makes it official, right?

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

My daughter's been admitted to hospital twice this year. Basically, she's asthmatic, and whenever she catches the flu, it always develops into bronchitis or pneumonia.

It's gotten to the point that I can greet the nursing staff in the pediatrics unit by name 🤦‍♀️

@AhmdPy @SimonWhistler Ah, this was one of my favourite ghost stories when I was a kid!

The kind of conversations you have with your colleagues when you write about true crime for a living:

@DannySalter @SimonWhistler I'd have gone with Shaun the Sheep. Much more entertaining

[Emma Freylink @EmmaFreylink]

When presented with Smurfs, Peppa Pig, Bluey or Spongebob Squarepants as options to watch this morning, my 2yo daughter insisted on @SimonWhistler instead

So now she's watching Brain Blaze while informing me that "Simon funny"
