Big congrats to awwwl the authors on the @SundayTimesZA longlist. Got a couple of personal favourites I'm rooting for, it's a tough year, big competition. Also, strong cover game this year IMO.

And you can't edit your tweet without upgrading. Still not okay.

And THEN you notice an error in your tweet, and that's also not okay.

When you discover the word 'okay' is an echo in your manuscript and you've used it like a one hundred million times. The irony is that's not okay.

Some days opening that manuscript document is the hardest thing I'll do all day.

At first glance, I read 'calculate' as 'chocolate', and now i'm sticking with it.

"While Thomas Running invented running in 1748, his invention was heavily influenced by the heavily credited inventor Joshua Jogging, (1726–1784) who, in 1746, invented jogging by walking one and a half times at the same time."

I don't know if this is true, but it's hilarious. I sent it to a friend, who messaged me back ten minutes later to say it had sent her down a Google rabbit hole which led to the next tweet in this thread.

48 374 words down on new novel. 🤸‍♀️ Only 32 hundred million thousand billion to go.

@paigen CONGRATS! Am I allowed to brag that I've read the hilarious MS in draft? That I'm going to be editing it? TRY AND STOP ME WOOHOO WOOHOO. So glad the news is out. Yrs too excited to be calm. PS: You have nothing to fear.

Just signed my first publishing deal since 2017. Am I feeling calm and fearless about it? No. But am I planning on working on that? Also no.

I pay my taxes, I own my own home and run a successful business, but I still can't ever find the end of the sticky tape.
