My daughter asked me "where does poo come from" I was a little uncomfortable but gave her an honest explanation. She looked a little perplexed and stared at me in stunned silence for a few seconds and asked "And Tigger?"

Sad news.

[Sophie Kinsella @KinsellaSophie]

We are heartbroken to announce the passing this morning of our beloved Sophie (aka Maddy, aka Mummy). She died peacefully, with her final days filled with her true loves: family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy. We can't imagine what life will be like without her.

[Bella Dunn 📚 @BellaDunnWriter]

This is exactly right.

[Ruth Millington @ruth_millington]

Talented authors deserve to be paid well; if the average income continues at 7k a year, only the already-privileged writers (or celebrities) will be able to afford this career. And literature will be limited to their voices alone.

Here‘s a secret: you will never be fully ready to do the things that scare you. Don’t waste your life waiting for ideal conditions that never come. Write that novel now. Start that project today. It will never get easier, but you can choose to get braver.
