Today is the day I officially started work on my first-ever novel (which is separate from my poetry project). I’ve not felt this creatively excited or engaged in years. I hope this is the start of a promising new chapter in my career and life! 😅🤞🏼

No words. Beyoncé is one of one for a reason. 🤠
Bit of work news from me🚨: today was my last day at Dexerto! Super tough decision to leave my amazing team who have 100% made me a better version of my working self.
Excited to share my next moves soon, but for now I’m available for freelance projects for the next few weeks!
Spoke to a bunch of editors about the freelance pitches they’re seeing.
They shared what’s getting ignored, passed over, or rejected and crucially... Why!
Think:
📌 AI-generated ideas
📌 Generic pitches
📌 No narrative tension
📌 Missed guidelines

Mine and my kids' situation has changed drastically over the last month, so I'm trying to bring in whatever extra writing gigs I can atm. If anyone is accepting pitches or in need of an essay writer, feature writer, and sort of entertainment writer, let me know

Such intriguing and inspired conversation tonight at The Scarlett Letters bookshop in Bethnal Green for Adele Zeynep Walton’s new book, Logging Off! Incredibly relevant for now, today, tomorrow
Legend, thanks Paul!
She won't be the first, or the last. Nameless, pretty, unassuming. Ideal. Her collarbone quivers to my touch, but it's the smell I can't abide. Harmless, to her credit. It's just not yours. I wish you could crawl inside my skin and truly understand how you stay underneath it, ever-present. #WriteCBC
Hello! I'm spending this summer working on a manuscript for my debut poetry collection (and potentially planning a novel) and would love to connect with writers/poets/creatives at a similar stage!
Also if any agents are reading... hi
I think the best way of flirting with someone you know (of) IRL is to not give any indication that you have a crush on them and never initiate conversation
Primarkification is such an excellent word
somehow got past me that Curzon Mayfair announced its closure a couple of days ago. fucking awful state of affairs, landlords continue to be the ruin of this city www.timeout.com/london/news/...
I really don’t remember there being this many seagulls at the Vatican
One of my biggest simple pleasures is enjoying when people (mostly mums) confidently call things by the wrong name.
Eg, mine just told me my dad won’t mind seeing Thunderbolts this evening because he loved “Dr Dre” comics as a kid (translation: Judge Dredd).
Sinners: I’d let Hailee Steinfeld eat me
Without the death threats would be preferential FYI
I went viral on Twitter this week for saying A Minecraft Movie was the worst of the year so far…
Please read my review so I can do the same on here 😇

Don’t worry, we all know I’m your favourite
Never did I think the day would come when I could follow both Charli XCX and Jeremy Corbyn on Letterboxd, yet here we are
Took a break from sobbing over Isabella Rossellini’s David Lynch Oscars tribute to presumably sob over clones of the man I was socially supposed to fancy as a tween #Mickey17
“Oh you write about film for a living? Wow, I bet you’re so knowledgable and have a great critical eye.”

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.
This post ended up being quoted in the Guardian lmao I love accidentally becoming a famous Traitors correspondent
The way I *knew* you were behind this when Em posted it

Love seeing all the sights in London
Bit of news from me. After our next print issue is released, I'll be stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of @filmhounds.co.uk.
More info will come from the team soon, but I'm so proud of what I've achieved and the amazing editors and writers I've worked with over the last two years ❤️
So this aged terribly… a few days later, I went on a date with my dream woman and now I *think* I’m officially off the market 😅
A bouquet of red roses.

Take that, Love Actually 😍✨
