Currently writing a YA fantasy novel!! I’m enamoured by how compassion as a primary skill could change the world. I’m a writer, a mother, a partner and surfer.

@rebauthor1 Hi! This is awesome! I’ve been writing a YA fantasy novel about a hermit who finds a little - unexpectedly purple! - baby on his doorstep. It’s fun, heart-warming and action-packed. I’m nearing the end of my first draft. I’m new to being active on Twitter.

@UpsideBackwards My husband and I are also getting different words. Happened today. Happened on Monday.

It got weird there for a bit though. From 30C on Wednesday to 4C on Friday. It actually snowed! Now it’s a beautiful sunny 19C.

Surfed yesterday for the first time in ages. I’ve been reading the Last Kingdom. Man, did I channel my inner Ragnar! It was epic.

That sounded extremely frustrating.

I’ve decided that my kid needs to be in charge of his school so now I only go in when he needs help (which is a lot) but I now have pockets of time to write. Wrote every day this week except yesterday. I went surfing instead! So good!!

That’s no good. You could move to Canada! Not Toronto though. It gets very hot here in the summer. The Maritimes tend to be a bit cooler.

I’m trying to convince my husband to move to Costa Rica so I can surf all the time. It’s patchy here in Toronto because we need to right wind direction to surf on the lake. Unfortunately, he also hates the heat. ☹️🤬

I feel similarly. I just want my kid back in school where he’s happy. Online schooling is so hard for them, and not nearly as effective as in person school.
