Exactly 1 year since this book launched, I'm heading to the world's #storytelling capital, Marrakech, for the 3rd World Storytelling Festival, hosted by the globe-uniting force that is @WorldStorytell2.
These events are not causally linked, just beautifully serendipitous. $;-)

And here we are, launching All The Better To Read You With, with a ripping talk from @creatorchip @EpicTalesST

Anyone know why @PrimeVideo Music has changed the lyrics of @lindsaylohan's 'Ultimate' song? I can't work out why the line "I wanna do to you what you do to me" could be offensive...?

Asked @ChatGPTapp what it thought my job is, based on everything I've asked it to help with.
"Some kind of renaissance freelancer whose job description is just ‘Yes.’"
Not far off, I guess. But I need to do better at wearing a job desc of 'Probably yes, but occasionally no.'...

We began a new schools project this week, in partnership with St Peter Mancroft Church in Norwich. It’s exciting for multiple reasons, but it’s had some unpredictable impact that I’m not sure I could share anywhere but on my own blog...

Just been told by X I need to post more often to convince it I'm human ('coz of course AI *never* posts on X...), so here's the latest saga from the #PepysShow...

Saw @russell_kane at @MKTheatre off the back of @BBCRadio4's Evil Genius. He may think he's generous, always letting guests mention their tours but never doing so for himself.
But he ain't, 'coz the biggest gift he could give his listeners would be urging them to see his show...

It was sheer euphorgasmia, transformative to experience, high energy cynical optimism. Shows like this and people like Russell leave you feeling like your next day will be wasted if you're not running through streets in your jimjams yelling about how delicious your toothpaste is.

Thanks to all who came to Sam's 392nd birthday party this week – including @itvanglia! We loved your colourful new wig designs and clothing suggestions for Sam & Liz – my brother's especially pleased to see Sam in an @Arsenal shirt...
See you for Liz's birthday in Oct maybe?

Before I was ever published, I dreamt of @korkypaul illustrating one of my books. Thanks to @creatorchip that dream has come true! This month KING LEOPOLD'S NEW SIGNS comes out as a story in Chip and Korky's Fables and Fairy Tales series. amazon.co.uk/Cheeky-Cheerful…

#BloodyHellKen! 4th keyring to resign from its position as holder to my keys in the past year. Is my key as cursed as the one from #BatterseaPoltergeist?

Now THIS is uncanny: 2min after @e_sutcliffe reminds me Uncanny is back on our screens tonight, & a friend I introduced to the show messages to ask if I knew it's on @BBCTwo tonight...
Then I come here, & @danny_robins' is the 1st post I see!
Clearly I'm destined to watch...

I've not had time to share much on socials these last few days, and I'm gonna have fun trying to find time to fit in all the awesome backdated updates – but this photo is a neat summary as to what and why...

Awesome coming into a school and literally the first thing you see is their beautiful, comfy, and well-stocked library.

And they've given me such a warm welcome too! Thank you @HSWprimary & @RivermeadTrust

What one word would you use to describe your prediction for the year ahead?
As you can read here, Sam's would probably be "ambiguous"...

What one word would you use to describe your circumstances at the very start of this New Year?
Sam's is probably "blessed"
Mine is "family" – or possibly "EastEnders"...
