I came home to discover a bird had flown into my house and pooped all over my computer.

They say that a bird pooping on your head brings good luck. Does that mean if a bird poops all over my computer I'm getting writing good luck???

Who else hides their laptop before going on holiday, only to return & realise they’ve forgotten where it is? I’ve looked in all my usual hidey-holes & I cannot find it, which means I’m either going senile or I've been robbed… I think we ALL know what’s happened here

[KateTalbotBooks @KateTalbotBooks]

@KatiePalazzola I love it! I think I need to change my sub folder to “worry letters”

[KateTalbotBooks @KateTalbotBooks]

@PewKailei What a fabulous idea!!! Best of luck!!!

[KateTalbotBooks @KateTalbotBooks]

@ItsSophieAnna I try not to query until I’ve started a new project that I’m excited about. Rejects hurt less when you can say to yourself, “sure, you didn’t like THAT project but wait till you see THIS one!”

[KateTalbotBooks @KateTalbotBooks]

@KellyAMangan Congratulations!!!! That’s a huge endeavor!!! Best of luck with submissions!!!
