Me: read this funny Twitter exchange from Robert Plant!
Mr Drama: I know that name. Where’s he from?
Me: ….some hippie band, I think.
Mr Drama: *googles it* ………… Led Zeppelin. 😒

Ahh - Delbert, you have outed yourself as a literary snob. Bravo. 🤦🏼‍♀️
This kind of denigration of romance is outdated, misogynistic, bigoted and idiotic. However, please continue to foist your uneducated ‘opinion’ about the biggest-selling genre in publishing on romance authors.

I just saw some kid on TikTok saying that they wish they were a teen in the early 2000s. And I feel like kids don't understand how pervasive, constant, & violent the homophobia was. Or the misogyny.

The music was fun and we weren't constantly online, but don't idealize the past.

Nirvana was the fucking embodiment of Gen X.

Kurt Cobain died in 1994, to say Nirvana was more a millennial group is nonsense.

The end of an era: Harlequin Desire is done. Begun in 1982 as Silhouette Desire, it was renamed in 2011. The line always aimed at a higher heat level than most, as signified in the 1980s by the cover's red border. Its replacement Afterglow offers cutesy cartoon covers instead.

If you need a laugh tonight, here’s a blooper of the infamous Friends “pivot” scene. For me, “pivot” is one of the single funniest scenes in sitcom history, and it wouldn’t be what it is without Matthew Perry.

When I'm doubting the process/my writing/my ability to finish stories, in a dark writing place and/or getting overwhelmed, defeated or distracted by other life stuff, I like to re-read all the good things readers said about my books. #amwriting

Reminder to authors who haven’t had a publishing deal yet. I’ve been rejected more since being published than prior. It’s part of life as an author; and one of the reasons I’m hybrid. I understand (now) that not all projects fit trad publishing, and some books need more of me.

E*l*n gradually destroying this bird app and now renaming it is giving me serious Friends Ross/Emily vibes where she makes him get rid of everything Rachel ever touched.

[Teresa Driscoll @TeresaDriscoll]

Worried about being a ‘mature’ writer trying to get published?
Don’t be…#amwriting
1/ I wasn’t published until my fifties. And my breakout book I Am Watching You (1.3 million sales) came at age 58.

I’m now a proud author in my sixties who’s realised something important…
