Here's to the recycling collectors who clapped as I ran past them this morning on a run I didn't want to go on, and then caught up with me a bit later and slowed down to cheer me along again.
Honestly made it the best run I've done in ages. And I beat my average pace PB 🙌

We just got given free tickets to an evening of sea shanties tonight, and I think that's a pretty strong sign I should start planning my Souls of the Sea WIP.

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵
1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.

I was only able to capture 1 little balloon, but TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. Being 31, esp from Dec '23-May '24, was WILD. But I hope being 32 is better.
As a b-day request (rental goes back June 7), could yall please share this: bit.ly/bethgfm
This Gemini thanks you! 🥹

It’s ok if you don’t have words that describe the horror & heartbreak for Rafah. For Gaza. For Palestine.
For these beloveds whose breath & being have been stolen with bombs & fire.
Let your silent tears, guttural screams, & anguished cries out. They speak when worlds fail.
How obsessed am I with @PublishingRodeo? I just went for my third morning run in a row purely so I could listen to it. I usually only run three times a week total 😳

I finished re-reading my WIP and made a meme. Successful Saturday.
ALT Anakin and Padme meme. Me: This is actually a good first draft. MY WIP: So that means no revisions, right? *concerned face* Right?

If you are in or visiting #Somerset this spring/summer, it may be of benefit to know I've published 18 food and drink-oriented things for one to get one's chops around: thewfj.co.uk/p/the-wfjs-guid…
Oooo, @SophKWrites look what I spotted in the latest issue of @Booktimemag 👀
