Hi all, after 12 years on here I've decided I get more from not being on Twitter than on it, so I'm moving on.

My LinkedIn and Instagram are in the next tweet, please come and stay in touch!

If you're not on them and you'd like my number, DM me.

You've been ACE. 💛

@thecriticalfish Hi, are you looking for people to add their business details or just their categories of work at the moment? I can't seem to find anywhere looking for contact info yet.

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

@handymelon Thank you 💞

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

It's been a not very OK day. In fact, it's been a not very OK year so far, for several reasons.

I know it will get better. Today felt a bit like hitting my emotional limit though, despite having a lot of good in it.

Very thankful to everyone who's been lovely. 💛

@cleanslatecopy My eldest hated it, she's really not into modern Disney.

@tregaudie I took January 2020 off and travelled through Thailand. Best decision, and best timed trip ever. Planning to take August off this year.

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

I will not join in with the watching planes land sideways because I would quite like to get on one again this year.

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

Ok, turns out it IS a bit windy.

Northerners, are we pretty much going out and about as usual today or is it just me being mad? I'm not going to leave the shops to find I need a canoe, am I?

Let's skim over the fact that three of them have the same first name and I'm already wondering how to stay on top of that 😅

I started the week with my first copywriting mentee recommending me in a group. So many new freelancers or people making the move came to me after that, I'm now planning how I can fit them all in.

Community is everything 💛

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

Me, every day: OK, here's the chance to say something interesting, insightful or helpful on twitter.

Also me: Wordle was hard today.

@realBrookNash The amount you work, lack of holidays and how normal you treat this.

@LibbyPageWrites I had an elective for this reason (second baby, breach first time meant I needed a cesarean so it was a 50/50 conversation this time). Would opt for it again every time if I was planning any more. Knowing exactly when it'll happen made it so much easier to deal with mentally.

@askallea Hi Allea, I'd love some more info on the copywriting side.

@cleanslatecopy My partner just reminded me about Emergency Bear too. Neither of us remember what the emergency was, or which bear 😂

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

@cleanslatecopy We also had a doll called Mrs Baby for a while. Named when she was just getting to grips with people having titles and saying what you see!

[Laura Smith @ellastcomms]

@cleanslatecopy We have a Baby Cat, named before she knew the word for kitten I think! It stuck like super glue though.

@stuheritage No Sarah and Duck?!
