Welcome to my glorious come back! Today, I’m talking about comparisons, nesting dolls, and young adult fiction. Which, as far as Rebecca Gibson glorious comebacks go, is pretty effing on brand. Onto the main event. Earlier this week I was in a pretty epic brain-funk (aren’t we all right now?) following some rejection and…the general … Continue reading Comparisons, Nesting Dolls, and Learning From YA Fiction

Why I’m Panicking About Coronavirus
There’s a lot in the news right now about sickness. A lot of fear mongering, panic, and conversations that have been needed for a long time. Sickness is another of those things not many people like to talk about. It’s the dirty thing.

Phones, Social Media, and the #Offline48 Challenge
I’ve spoken in previous posts about social media and how it has both a light and a dark side. It’s fantastic for connecting people but it’s also unfathomably addictive. To narrow this discussion down even further, today I’m going to talk specifically about phones. It's how you're reading this right now, isn't it? I only … Continue reading Phones, Social Media, and the #Offline48 Challenge
10 Things Pissing Off Shop Assistants (This One Specifically)
I thought I’d mix it up this week and go for something less heavy. As you probably know by now I fulfil all the Cornish stereotypes and work in a pasty shop. In fact, I’ve been working in customer service since I was thirteen. So I’ve heard enough blood boiling bullshit to fill hundreds of … Continue reading 10 Things Pissing Off Shop Assistants (This One Specifically)
