there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Canva Tips for Authors: Create landing pages and collect email addresses using CanvaΒ (free) Canva now lets you create interesting and interactive landing pages. I use a simple email collection page as an example, but you can do things like puzzles and quizzes too. If part of your collection page includes a field for the person to put in their email address - then you can collect their email address. How to move the email addresses from the Canva spreadsheet into your Email Service Provider.

I'm on a train. There are no seat reservations today. Every stop we've got people milling around, confused.
But, we're moving, so it's all good.

I booked a ticket on Trainline and now it's sending me hysterical messages saying 'Get ready for your trip to DIDCOT!'
Calm down, dude. It's only Didcot.

(I like Didcot. I lived there for several years).

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

In the background of this image is a lush, poisonous-looking garden of deep green leaves and red and black berries. Near the top of the image is this text: Really, if she’d known how much protocol was involved in being a famously wicked queen, she might never have overthrown her uncle in the first place.
Beneath that text is the beautiful blue British cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. The illustration shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch.A blurb from Sarah Beth Durst reads, 'Absolutely irresistible!'

Canva Tips for Authors: How to draw freehand inΒ Canva Last week, I talked about how to be more human in your designs and I managed to completely forget about the Canva draw feature - what could be more human than making doodles by hand?! So this week, I’m rectifying the mistake by doing a quick video on how to use Canva draw. Obviously, this works best if you’re using a touchscreen and a stylus (or an ipad and Apple pencil).

I started crocheting again after a looong break. Now my hand hurts again.
Damn 50+ upgrade that means even relaxing things come with a side order of pain. Do not recommend.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Book review: The Cottage at the Edge of the Woods by JaneΒ Lovering I always enjoy Jane Lovering's books so I snapped this up when I saw it on Netgalley.Single mum Libby is running away from a controlling relationship and has her two year old with her. She's taking on part time work in order to make ends meet. She has been hired by the stressed out architect Ross, who wants her to persuade a squatter to leave a ramshackle house that's on his property.

I read The Cottage At The Edge of the Woods by Jane Lovering. Here's my review.
