All of this. All the time. Your style and urgency capture me. This month I’m doing short posts on Thursday’s that explore mental health. Do I have your permission to share this?

Love all of this! Especially- “The first thing Clive had said when she’d met them was: We’re not the real Derek and Clive.  And Derek had said: We just happen to be called Derek and Clive.” Perfect. 👏

I have a deep and abiding love for these two. They were a gem to meet, to arrive on my page. I am so grateful to them. They lit up my day, and made my heart swell, all at the same time.

Goodness me. I’m also astounded and moved. I want to say something brilliant in return but I’m feeling quite altered. In a good way thank you 🙏

Catching up. I want to know if Clive and Derek are available for parties.

hahaha! I'll ask them. They also look like Derek and Clive. I'm trying not talk about this novel while in the midst of it, but I will share with you that meeting D & C, when I first walked into the scene with Tessa, was one of those writerly moments of joy completely out of my hands.

Ah, hah! Behind the scenes.

'Clive farted and Derek said, “Your health.”'

Priceless.
