My #shortstory is out in @MTP_Agency’s anthology!

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

Had one of those really life affirming moments hearing @zeldalockhart speak at @LDNwriterscafe. We were all captivated, and I left re-invigorated in my own writing practice. So excited to sink my teeth into both The Soul and Trinity. Exquisite writing and true wisdom!

A very fitting backdrop to read @sea_mammal’s incredible book

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

Did a little squeal seeing my wonderful friend @sea_mammal’s book Soundings displayed at one of my favourite bookstores @thebbookshop - and alongside Ocean Vuong no less!! 😍

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

Have packed 5000 outfits and an entire library into my holiday suitcase, so I will undoubtedly wear the same four items on repeat and read half of one book.

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

@noopvonsnoop Thank you 🥺😘

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

I’ve been so busy that Ocean Vuong’s new poetry collection has been out in the world for nine whole days before I’ve ordered it, oh the shame, the sorrow

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

@sea_mammal Amazing!!

Word of the day is lagoonal. Winning criteria include: lots of vowels, sounds good, is where I'd rather be.

Very much wish to be at LBF next year

@scottaarontait @PowdersPress You do it very, very well! (from my reading of @queerlings, which I'm sure will translate amazingly into your work for @PowdersPress)

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

@scottaarontait @PowdersPress This is so exciting, I look forward to reading! Sorry that this week has been tough for you.

@BAvventurosa Sad I can't make it! Have a lovely night Flick x

To all the trans authors who've written books we love to talk about, to our brilliantly talented trans staff, and to all our kind, funny, interesting, extremely well-read, sexy (we see you) trans customers - we couldn't do it without you, and what's more we wouldn't want to. ⁠

My flatmate just informed me that it is, in fact, still March. So if you're wondering how my week's going, I think this is a fair summary.

[Jess Emery @JessyEmery]

I'm not saying that Prince was a prophet, but he did sing Sometimes It Snows In April, and he's rarely wrong about that.

@janeemery1 Sage words

@shteeeley So proud of you my girl, you deserve it! x

I'm currently editing an article about archeology. It's got me wondering how many crucial, enlightening pieces of ceramics, jewellery, weaponry, or bones, etc., have been deemed unremarkable by whoever originally found them, when they might actually solve some historical mystery.

@KellyDenman8 I've sent you a message x

Do any other #writers have to trick themselves into writing after a too-long period off? 'Just sit in front of the laptop with a coffee... Just open Word up... Just test out the keyboard... Just one paragraph...' #fearoftheblankpage
