What is this?

I’ll be writing roughly-monthly about whatever’s crossing my mind, including but not limited to thoughts on writing, reading, parenthood, work/capitalism, needlepoint, and travel – every post will also include at least one thing I’m finding joy in that month. They’ll be quick, easy reads that will hopefully elicit laughter, validation, and/or a ‘huh’ and a bit of thinking. And yes, there will be lots of punctuation…

Crap, I knew I forgot something.

I’m Anne – I’m a writer and editor and usually a paid lackey of some sort or another (because I like to sleep indoors, eat food, and use the internet). I’ve written two memoirs, one of which has been published, and various essays; I’m also working on a novel, which might be terrible but I’ll assess that later.

You can also get to know me better on Bluesky or Instagram if you’re still wary.

I've never been good at small talk; mention the weather and I'll tell you about the time I walked through snow-shushed London hand-in-hand with my 'great love' (and then I'll tell you about how he broke my heart). Fuck it – let's talk about the big stuff.
