Here's to the recycling collectors who clapped as I ran past them this morning on a run I didn't want to go on, and then caught up with me a bit later and slowed down to cheer me along again.

Honestly made it the best run I've done in ages. And I beat my average pace PB 🙌

@keithwdickinson I shouldn't have followed the rabbit hole down to what started this thread. It's such a tired take, I don't know why people keep coming out with it 🙄

We just got given free tickets to an evening of sea shanties tonight, and I think that's a pretty strong sign I should start planning my Souls of the Sea WIP.

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵

1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.
