I will literally make a mix CD for anyone that sends me their postal address.
I will literally make a mix CD for anyone that sends me their postal address. Patreon supporters are preferred, of course, because postal costs are insane. But I’ve done this for my Twitter friends in the past. I even sent them Christmas cards. So I’d gladly send music to a music lover anywhere the world […]

I love Anne Lamott.
I love Anne Lamott. Bird By Bird is one of my favourite books on writing. She even inspired me to write a letter to God once — which was no mean feat for an atheist with writer’s block. My favourite quote by her is this one: “I thought the secret of life was obvious: be here now, […]

I could have written this but you did!
I could have written this but you did! I love when people say that. I also get a lot of comments like “You read my mind” “Get out of my head” or “Now I don’t have to write it.” It’s the loveliest compliment but always strikes me as a little weird — not least because I’ve a […]

If I was immortal I’d spend most of my time drinking tea and writing.
If I was immortal I’d spend most of my time drinking tea and writing. Also reading books. What else is there? People say that there’s more to life. That you should leave the house. That you should go outside and enjoy the sunshine. That you should meet other people and talk to them. Anyone who […]

You spend your time on Twitter snarking at things that you’ve read online?
You spend your time on Twitter snarking at things that you’ve read online? It sounds to me like you’ve totally got the hang of Twitter. You’ve nothing to worry about. There’s not much more to figure out. You can post pictures of cats. You can yell at celebrities if you get bored. You can even […]

If you join Twitter just follow me and say hi.
If you join Twitter just follow me and say hi. I’m happy to help you with Twitter. If a writer follows me and says “hello I read your thing” (or words to that effect) I’ll pretty much always follow them back. Any sort of readerly, writerly, creative person is welcome so long as they’re reasonably […]

Twitter lists are my jam.
Twitter lists are my jam. Or at least they used to be. For the longest time they were my secret weapon. They’re infinitely useful if you want to filter or sort your followers. In recent years Twitter has hidden the feature in the UX equivalent of granny’s attic. I don’t know why but there’s definitely […]
