It's our 4th wedding anniversary which as a diligent husband I was well prepared for. I googled what a 4th anniversary gift is and it's either linen (UK) or fruit/flowers (US). Luckily I had a container of pear slices in the pantry to give as a gift to the hubs. And people say I'm not thoughtful! 😝😝

Happy anniversary to my beautiful man. Ti amo bello. 😘

Ahh, what a big few weeks - now THE BRINK has landed on the shortlist for the ADAPTABLE program from QWC! 🤩🤩

Which means I'm heading to Gold Coast Film Festival next month(!) to pitch it directly to TV and movie producers. 🎥📽️ This is epic! 🥳🥳

I’ve always been bad at letting go, but there is something I want to leave behind in 2022.

Christmas is hard for me as I’m estranged from family - but the pain of that is affecting my health & my writing.

I want to let it go for 2023.

I'm featured in an article in The Guardian today, talking about how precarious author incomes in Australia are & how we rely on day jobs. New research shows we earn $18K/yr on average. Thanx to Rafqa Touma for covering this issue. 🙏

Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" came on the stereo at the gym. Some psycho shrieked "No! Just no!" before hurling his shaker cup across the gym, hammer-throwing a dumbbell into the nearest mirror & setting fire to the pilates room.

It was me, I am some psycho.

Nutrition is my passion. 🙏🙏

Happy Friday, Mastodonians! 🍻😎🤙
