I hope you’re having a cozy week. 🥰
I’m on winter break1, but I’ve been collecting rabbit holes you might enjoy tumbling down in the gap before New Years. 🐇
I’ll be back in January to launch my self publishing course and to announce the open call for
.Bits and bobs I’d like to recommend this month.

Always love
’s posts, but this one is a particular favorite.Listen
I resonate with what so much
says to in this chat. Especially the bit about needing freedom of flexibility and also crafting an offering at a price that is sustainable for the energy you are putting in. This really solidified my intentions for Substack in 2024. Watch this space.If you’d rather read this one you can, but I loved the voice over version. 💫
Read
I’ve been reading two books this month I’m really enjoying.
Someday, Someday Maybe by Lauren Graham is about an actress in NYC. It’s quite a genre shift from my usual Fantasy, but was a nice light read and I really enjoyed it. The main character is so much like Lorelai from Gilmore Girls I could hear Lauren’s voice coming through (almost literally.)
I’ve been reading a hardcover copy of The Christmasaurus whilst listening to the audiobook with Davy (and making some nerdy observations about language changes between the UK audiobook and US print edition.)
Play
We’ve been playing classics (like UNO!) and video games over holiday break.
A new holiday season means a new festival in Cozy Grove (iOS & Nintendo Switch). If I haven’t convinced you to play yet maybe these snow folk from winter festival will.
We’ve also been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley (it’s basically a farming / crafting game full of Disney characters who need your help).
And we picked up a new Starter Set to introduce Davy to Dungeons & Dragons. 🐉
Here’s what I was sharing this time last year…
That’s it for now. See you in the New Year.
Cheers,

Thanks for sharing my post! And looking forward to learning more about that self-publishing course 👀
Love being able to play UNO and other games with my kids now that they’re old enough! 😊
