“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...

The Battle-Scarred ThinkPad and the Mountain of Notebooks: A Love Story

Let’s talk about favorite writing tools. Now, I know some authors might name drop fancy apps, sleek white minimalist keyboards, or those delicate fountain pens with gold nibs that require ceremonial ink rituals … But me? My tools are a little less... romantic. A little more indestructible . And, dare I say, a little more clunky with character . Once upon a time—cue flashback shimmer—I wrote all my stories by hand . Not just a page or two, either. I mean boxes and boxes of handwritten notebooks , full of scribbles, side notes, doodles in the margins, entire character backstories I forgot existed until ten years later. My early stories were a workout for my wrist. I had pens running dry faster than a coffee pot in a newsroom. It was chaotic. It was glorious. Typing those books up? A mission. A translation project. A cryptic decoding effort worthy of Indiana Jones. There were arrows. Stars. Entire paragraphs stuffed sideways in the margins like they were trying to escape the story. So...
