Wolf: Let’s try this run!
Me: But . . . that’s 5k.

Having one of those days: my salmon poke lunch ended up on the floor of Stansted after the @ItsuOfficial bag bottomed out in less than five minutes. 😭 WHAT KIND OF TAKEAWAY BAG IS THIS THAT TAKES MY FOOD AWAY
Just proofread a thrilling - and downright chilling - book, To Kill the Truth, and woke to this news, which is entirely too relevant. @Freedland ARE YOU A PROPHET. :: "Texas Students Will Soon Learn Slavery Played A Central Role In The Civil War" n.pr/2zXL915
Enjoyed a highly entertaining chat between @matt_sperling & @LukeKennard about #Astroturf, a book I had the pleasure of copyediting; the banter trophy definitely made movements tonight @gowerst_books
Loved hearing @SpainJoanne @ellygriffiths & @SarahPinborough talk about their craft, their villainy, and their crime-solving prowess at #BloodyScotland - made my copyediting/proofreading for them all the more special 😊
CURRENT STATUS: copyediting the newest book in my favourite detective series by @SpainJoanne while on the train to Stirling to SEE HER SPEAK IRL @BloodyScotland. Eeee! LET THE STALKING COMMENCE – at Hitchin, England
Over the past 5 years, I’ve had the joy of proofreading or copyediting works by all 3 of these writers and I am beyond excited to see them IRL @BloodyScotland! Session is officially BOOKED. bloodyscotland.com/event/wor…

Couldn’t put down #SuicideClub — it was so cortisol-raising I swear I lost months off my number. How dare you affect my chances at the Third Wave, @rachelhengqp – at Glasgow, Scotland
I like all these things! Going to be throwing down exclamation marks like this all night long. More beer! More slushy! Where’s the eagle gone with my hot dog?! teapaw.org/marblebrewers/status/1…
