Canadian writer of fairy tales. Still unpublished, but fingers are crossed to get there very soon.
Suggested things to say if someone asks to touch your scar, especially if you have boobs and suspect that they’re just trying to get away with touching those instead, depending on how you feel about the person asking:

1. “No.” 2. “Sure. Go ahead.” 3. “Only if you have a scar I can touch in return. And it better be good. I don’t want some lousy paper cut. I want to run my fingers along you…

New blog post today. I haven’t been sharing them here as much as I should, I know. Today’s post is the second installment in my ‘Scary Things' series and it’s all about what happens when you wake up from surgery ticking loudly. Spoiler alert: you’re going to be okay. #hearthealth #heartsurgery #valvereplacement #changeofheart #heartpatient #youregoingtobeokay

I’ve started writing a blog for people like me in that they are heart patients, possibly about to have heart surgery, possibly not. I talk about a lot of different aspects of the process of being diagnosed and treated, and how to deal with the complicated stuff. Have a look. #hearthealth #heart #heartpatient #heartsurgery #changeofheart https://changeofheartpatientsupport.wordpress.com

Okay, so it turns out I’m really not great at integrating new social media platforms into my life. I shall work on this a little more. I am nearly done the second draft of my first collection of fairy tales and I need to get it done soon, but damn if life doesn’t do everything it can to get in the way. I’m feeling pretty good today, relatively speaking. Maybe I’ll make some progress. Wish me luck! #writingeveryday #fairytales #imbadatsocialmedia #lifegetsintheway #FirstBook #SecondDraft
Just a few moments ago, I finished writing my first draft of my first collection of fairy tales. There’s a lot of work ahead, still, but this is a great day. #writingeveryday #fairytales #firstdraft #thisissuperexciting
Okay friends, even though I have no followers I’m going to introduce myself. I’m a writer of modern fairy tales for modern grown ups, I’m nearly done the first draft of my first collection of tales and hope to have them published this year. Apart from that, I’m a heart patient (four surgeries so far) and a huge proponent of speaking frankly about mental health. I have two cat friends I live with who keep me going. #yyc #writingeveryday #fairytales #hearthealth #mentalhealth #crazycatlady
