“5 Things I’ve Learned Supervising My Human’s Writing Process”
(A Papillon’s Guide to Managing an Introvert Author)

1. “Quiet Writing Time” Is a Lie

My human says she is going to “sit quietly and write.”

What actually happens:
• dramatic gasping
• whispering “no no no” at fictional people
• intense staring like the laptop has betrayed her

I remain calm. Because someone has to.

2. The Heroine Is Always in Danger (For No Reason)

At least once per writing session, my human puts her heroine in a completely unnecessary life-threatening situation.

Cliffs.
Dark alleys.
Suspicious strangers.

Then she panics.

This feels avoidable.

3. The Word “Said” Has Personally Offended Her

I don’t know what “said” did.

But apparently it is no longer welcome.

Now everyone “murmurs,” “whispers,” “breathes,” and occasionally “declares dramatically into the void.”

I would like to formally request we bring “said” back.

4. Snacks Are Not Optional

There is a direct connection between plot quality and snack availability.

When snacks are late:
• pacing suffers
• decisions become questionable
• I lose faith in management

I will escalate if necessary.

5. The Magic Is Real (And I Am Clearly the Inspiration)

Despite everything…

The stories?
The cozy town?
The mystery and the magic?

It all comes together.

And while my human types the words…

Let’s be honest.

The true brilliance of the Magical Papillon Mysteries is the Papillon. 🐾✨

You’re welcome for my service.

Now go read the books. I have a reputation to maintain.

A Labour-Free Labour Day? Yes, Please!

Hello and Happy Labour Day to all my lovely North American readers! Now, isn’t it just a little bit ironic that a holiday with the word labour baked right into the name is universally observed by doing absolutely none of it? Zero. Zilch. Unless, of course, you count the rigorous work of flipping burgers, casting fishing lines, and chasing wasps away from the potato salad. Then yes—we are a nation of highly skilled, recreational labourers. Olympic-level loungers, really. This year, I’m wholeheartedly leaning into the contradiction. After an exceptionally busy summer filled with writing deadlines, creative misadventures, and one unfortunate incident involving a Papillon, a pie, and a squirrel (don’t ask—Pixie is still refusing to discuss it), I’m embracing the art of not doing much at all. My Labour Day weekend plans include: Reclining in my favourite chair like a dramatic Victorian heroine recovering from a fainting spell. Watching the endless activity in the harbour just outs...

The Art of a Well-Timed Swear

There comes a moment in life when frustration bubbles over, and the only logical response is… well, a good, solid, soul-cleansing swear word. I’m not talking about casual, everyday muttering under your breath. No, I mean that moment when nothing else will do. The kind of moment where dropping your toast butter-side down feels like an act of war, where technology conspires against you, or when you stub your toe so hard you briefly see your ancestors. Now, I was raised in a house where we had a rule: Use your words, not you hands. This was my dad’s way of preventing sibling-induced concussions, and frankly, it worked. We weren’t an inherently violent bunch, but three kids in one tiny household meant tempers flared, and so did elbows. The logic was simple—if you had time to yell, maybe you’d have time to think twice before swinging. Or at least give your victim a solid head start. This philosophy stayed with me, though in adulthood, I’ve adapted it to use a well-placed expletive now a...

A Bird Pooped on My Head and Other Life-Changing Moments

True story: a peaceful morning, blue sky, the smell of damp leaves on the sidewalk, birds chirping with enthusiasm that can only mean one thing— trouble. I’m out walking my adorable Papillon, Blueberry (who is, let’s be honest, the true star of my writing life), when BAM. Something hits me. Not metaphorically. Not spiritually. Physically. With a plop. I know immediately. There’s no mystery here. I’m a cozy mystery author, and even I don’t need clues for this one. A bird just pooped on me. Right on the head. Bullseye. Olympic-level accuracy. Somewhere, that bird is getting high-fived by its feathered friends and earning itself a tiny gold medal for "Most Precise Aerial Delivery." And let me tell you—it was disgusting. So there I am, frozen on the sidewalk, trying not to scream in front of my dog, who is looking up at me like, “Why are you standing still, and also… ew.” I sprint home, Blueberry bouncing along beside me, clueless to the drama, and I leap into the shower...
