Ten years ago, I published my first book, The Stone Thrower. So grateful to be a part of three Canadian anthologies and to have written two kid’s books and a novel since then.

I’ll be signing books today at OLA!

Taking a sick day. I can’t fight through coughs in a work from home situation. But dizzy spells are where I go full rest mode.

@SheilaBauman Makes me think she was already planning writing the book from then. 🤨😨

RT @notcapnamerica: Outing your husband’s deepest darkest secrets to the public after his suicide so you can sell a book is nasty work.

Just providing professional/publishing insight on the timing of all this. This book was done and put out in record time. And don’t get me started on putting it out in Feb. Cuz that’s a whole choice too. That’s all. Probably not all I want to say but it’s all I’m going to say.

Completely shut off emails for two weeks. Woke up to 210 unread emails.

Lost count of how old I am, but feeling good after taking another lap around the sun!☀️🎂

I have reached my mental workload maximum for 2024 and I’m signing off of all work thoughts….see ya in 2025 with those. Although I will be dropping random happy thoughts for the remainder of the year. 😜😝

@MinoritiesinPub Right? Like there needs to be a December rule book. If it’s relevant to 2024, send it. If it’s about 2025, leave it for 2025. The most I’m going to do right now is send a link for you to set up a meeting.

So proud to share this list as we prepare for a new Reading Challenge. These are not the only books that changed the decade, but starting Friday we’ll reveal why each one was uniquely important to the work we’ve done @TheFOLD_ over the past decade. 📚

@Hotpoint5 Thanks, Pauline. I’m definitely looking forward to a little vacation.

And let me say this, I am personally in this work ALWAYS trying to do what’s right. So either I’ve made a mistake - which I’ll own and fix - OR our priorities differ and we’re not the org that can satisfy your particular concerns, to which I respectfully say, start your own.
