Word of the day is ‘latibulate’: to hide away and attempt to escape from reality.

😂😂😂 I’ve been a lover of em dashes since childhood! Some of us just swing that way 😂😂😂

Didn’t realise I was not on mute when I yelled out, “I don’t f**king need this,” in a Teams work meeting of 50 people today. Bury me, please! 🙈😳🥴

I LOVE an em dash 🥰

Not exactly a #bluesky but I’d say “English grey” with windswept trees is still poetic! Trying to jumpstart my writing brain with frosty morning walks. Thanks for the up & go inspo @suzieedge.bsky.social 😂

I’m raising a little author 🥰 loves books just like his mum. So much that he’s started making his own (he’s only just turned 5).

Today I removed the old copies of my books from my shelves. I kept the copy of each that has my original handwritten editing notes, and the final paperback and hardback versions, but I don’t need 30 copies showing various cover and formatting changes 😂 #booksky #authorsky

Check out that sky! It’s -5°C again this morning but at least the sky is pretty 🥰

Slowly oozing my way back into book society 😂 yes oozing is the appropriate word here for how sluggish I feel about it. 🤣

Learned a fact about leopard slugs and knotting the other day…unwillingly I might add… I’m just wondering how long it’ll be before chewing off your appendage and living as a female will appear in a romance book…🤦🏻‍♀️🥴😂

I see them, do I count?
Also, I was wondering about hashtags 🥴😂

Word of the day: Corrigendum
Meaning: A thing to be corrected… like my social media presence this past year 😬🥴

Cate is holding a copy of the book that depicts Hill House on the cover in grey and blue hues, and a slip case that depicts a drawing of the main character. Her black cat, Stevie sits behind the book, staring at the camera.

Finally reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. What better way to do it than with the gorgeous @foliosociety.bsky.social edition I got for my birthday last month! 🥰

Same! I set up a profile then forgot about it. Hadn’t even confirmed all my info and changed my username when I checked back into it today 😂

Awesome… is CapCut partnered with TT? I thought they were separate things 😬

Definitely, I just went back from a week off and the emails are something else 😂
Ah, awesome, I’m yet to look at Substack but I’ll be checking it out soon 👍🏼

You can put videos on here too???

Me in my day job 😏

Cate Nielson Raye holds up her books while wearing a rainbow dress and rocking pink hair.

It’s been at least a year since I wrote anything. A year since I finished reading a book. A year since I posted anything half decent on social media. Boy did I need that year! But hi folks! I’ll be right with you!
