What's your private school name? Take: the last medication you were on, your first teacher's last name, and then the first one syllable last name that comes into your head. Mine is Flucloxacillin McCafferty-Price.

@WWFreddiePod I don't know if you're still considering starting a promotion. If you are, and intend to use unknown indie talents, I have a list of the cream of the indie crop that you could use or not use. 50 names. If you're interested, follow and DM me and I'll send it along.

@RyanPrindall_ @Saints_Country Mongo is on his deathbed with ALS, paralysed and can't talk. They wanted too put him in before he dies, which doesn't look like it'll be long now based on recent pictures. It was a classy, Compassionate move.

Are you okay with swearing in everyday conversations / music / tv / movies / books?

[S.M. Tunn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👨‍🏫👨‍👩‍👧📚 @SMTunn2]

@howverynovel OK, this will sound a little weird, but...

If your hands start to shake, squeeze your buttocks. The shaking will stop.

@IronySheik Thanks. I needed that laugh

I swear to God I'm cursed. Currently on my second mental breakdown of the year, house move fell apart, losing half my garden to become a hotel car park and having to quit my job because it's literally killing me.

Can someone please send me something positive or funny?

🧵#amquerying I know the query letter can feel scary. But, it doesn't have to be. I'm going to break it down into a simple formula so that you can plug in your story's information and feel confident you are putting your best literary foot forward toward any agent you query!

@EmmaBriedis I think it has more to do with the 4 hours of uninterrupted time that no other hobby really provides.
