Journalists, don’t forget to do some creative writing in your free time. It doesn’t matter if you don’t share it. The idea is to keep your mind open to possibility, nuance, and imagination.

They say laughter is the best medicine... but I still haven't found a cure for my Monday blues.

Writing tip: bribe your brain with snacks.
Every paragraph = 🧁
Every chapter = 🍝

Easily the best way to spend the hour before a flight.

At times, I find myself thinking that Bluesky might be a more fitting platform for my posts. Yet, I can't help but be drawn to the dynamic, unpredictable energy that Twitter (X) offers.

Happy #Valborg! Time to light the bonfires, sing loud, and welcome spring with friends 🌸🔥

Pook has now crossed the Atlantic more times than some diplomats I’ve interviewed. Sweden to the U.S. and back again. Unbothered, impeccably composed, as if global mobility were simply part of his remit. A true world traveller, who just happens to tolerate me as his chaperone.

The smell of books

Brunch gave me the energy to write half my word count before noon. Avocado toast for the win.

@tiffepiphany13 If it’s any consolation, the weather here is committed to the same mood.

I once lent my mother a copy of The Old Drift. She read it like a dossier, leaving underlines and questions in the margins. She returned it less as a thing and more as a conversation.

When I read her annotations, the book came alive again: her doubts sharpened scenes I’d skimmed, her questions rerouted my sympathy, her notes charged the pages, and I experienced the book anew through her eyes.

@Matt_Pinner Am I the only one unable to engage with the question, distracted by the absence of footprints in the snow?

There’s something quietly perfect about this; good food, a strong narrative, and the small act of choosing both at once. The Last Time I Wore a Dress isn’t a book you just pass time with; it asks for your attention, then rewards it.

An evening well spent, I’d say equal parts appetite and inquiry.

I’m on a seafood diet: I see food, and I eat it.
