“Sometimes, when something sad happens, people can push it down because it hurts too much.”
Today's #RefugeeWeek prompt is this illustration from Adnan - the story of a Syrian boy refugee who flees his home country with his mum. @QuartoKids
ALT Double page spread illustration. On the left Adnan (a young boy) stands in the entrance of the bedroom. He is pulling a cart of fire wood. Above his head are words reading "I can help mummy remember". On the right hand side Adnan's mum is in bed, her long hair covering her face. She appears to have been there for a long time and looks sad. The bed sheets fill the page and flow into other drawings of buuldings and cities. There is very little colour in the image.
Blue's Planet: Australia by Lucy McRoberts will be out in the world in February 2024. Meanwhile I'm elbows deep editing book 2, where the adventure only gets better! Congratulations, @LucyMcRobert1 ! thebookseller.com/rights/swe…
It's been 1 month today since I left the UK as a #digitalnomad, and I only wish I'd done it sooner 🥳
I wrote these! (Adapted, actually, from 3 public domain collections 📚) 10 books, 37 stories, 94k words, within a number of months it would give me a cold sweat to recall 💦 I'm as proud of the work that went into them as I am relieved/surprised that I actually reached The End!
I'm in Paris, two weeks into my digital nomad journey, and my balcony doors are open to the sound of someone blasting I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys into the courtyard below. It's not the most authentic soundtrack, but ... I have to say, it's working for me ... 😂
K-drama kisses have come a long way, but this one was UP THERE - and it went on for AGES. We hardly ever get BOTH🎯 #KingTheLandEp8 #LeeJunho #LimYoonA 👏🙇♀️ I was willing to subsist on soft looks from Gu Won, but now ... more, please, #KingTheLand #킹더랜드🙏
it was a 10/10 for me since the very beginning but after this scene it deserves a 15 idc wtf THEY’RE EVERYTHING #KingTheLandEp8

Years ago, before verified accounts were a thing, back when I was on Eastenders, I was contacted multiple times by parents of children who had been “conversing” with me online. 11-15 year old children that had been talking with a fake me.
I was informed one of these children-
Perfect timing. Halloween is done so it's really not too early for Christmas 🎁 #TheSandman #TheSandmanNetflix
Yes, it’s true: The Sandman will return to Netflix!
"There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus & the rest of them… Now it’s time to get back to work. There’s a family meal ahead... And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell," says @neilhimself
Forget the #MiniBudget, the most unfathomable thing in both the Dreaming AND the Waking right now is that @neilhimself's #TheSandman still hasn't been greenlit for Season 2. @netflix, please save us from this Nightmare🙏#TheSandmanNetflix #theEndlesstorment

Why is YouTube only now showing me this? DOES IT TAKE THIS LONG TO KNOW ME? youtu.be/OonDPGwAyfQ
As I begin my #LondonBookFair convalescence, I'm reminded of the first time I attended in 2017 when my badge said 'Student' & it was only my feet that hurt. Happy to have wrapped up my first fair as 'Commissioning Editor' & to have relearned how to talk to people IRL. #LBF2022
