Priya O'Shea

Well this is just a little bit awesome!!!

@MBallardRadio @Imagine_Theatre We’ll miss you this year Martin! Hope you’re better soon 💗

Thanks very much for all of your kind texts, messages, tweets e.t.c after the announcement that due to ill health I've had to step down from this year's Pantomime at the De Montfort Hall. Big thanks to @Imagine_Theatre for their support.

@jounwin Oh so fabulous Jo! 💗

@KatieLSeaman @thewritinghippo @HQstories Ahhh! These look great 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Proofs of #VeraWong, the exciting new novel from @thewritinghippo, have landed in the @HQstories office. There’s a mystery brewing and nobody spills the tea like this amateur sleuth! Can’t wait for readers to meet Vera in March 2023 ☕️

@poornabell Same!! Really wasn’t expecting much ‘background tv’ I thought… loved it!

@poornabell Unless the 17yr old was singing lyrics to Nelly - It’s getting hot in here… then no, just no.

@JohnBishop100 Brilliant, so moving 💗

Thanks you everyone for the positive feedback about the documentary. I hope you get to see the BSL comedy show after the news with great deaf comedians

@ClareDChambers @richardosman Love it! 🥰🍊

Untrammelled excitement here. Small Pleasures 🍊🍊🍊gets a mention in #TheBulletThatMissed! Thank you @richardosman. This is the most audacious piece of product placement since the cover deputised for a figleaf in a #Times article about naturism! #careerhigh

@poornabell @tjenkinsreid Going to Asda immediately…. I know I’ll love it, and also love everything TJR has written!

@Nelle_Andrew Oooh it’s on my tbr, it sounds brilliant!

This is SO good. Like SOOOOO good. As in does everyone know how good this is?? It’s so bloody good!!

@poornabell @Waterstones Congratulations Poorna! 🥳🥳🥳

@SavidgeReads Nooooo! 😞

Absolutely gutted. This prize has helped so many authors careers and added so much delight to readers and their shelves.

@NeilChakraborti Ahhh! Yes it does feel like a lifetime ago!!! I reckon we had at least another 3hrs of cake and hate crime chat left in us too! 🙌🏾

@priyaoshea Very glad to hear it! In case you need extra cheer this pic randomly popped up on my phone last week. Happy radio show memories from what feels like a lifetime ago!

Tricky week and a timely reminder that unexpected things happen at unexpected times. But it gives me an excuse to heap praise onto paramedics & A&E staff who deserve infinitely more love, patience, support, respect, pay and resources than they currently receive. 💙 #nhs #BeKind

@LisforLia This made me laugh out loud (well, snigger as I’m sat in the dark in one of the kids rooms!)

God I love the “I’m off to sainsburys after this” sub-genre of the 90s red carpet

@NeilChakraborti Yes please! We’ve had a much quieter end to the week and everyone’s fine (surprisingly not traumatised) so we’re good 😊

@priyaoshea That sounds HORRIFIC Priya! A big giant yes to less drama in our lives.

@NeilChakraborti I hope things are back to normal(ish) soon for you all. We started half term with my 7yr old breaking his front teeth and my sister in law giving birth in her car BUT fortunately it’s been less dramatic since then!! Thank goodness for the NHS indeed! 💗

@priyaoshea Thanks Priya - super kind of you. A rough week for our household but things are on the up. Hope you guys are well.

@LauraPAuthor I thought I was SO NEARLY THERE a month ago and then hit a wall 🤦🏾‍♀️ But two chapters left now… hopefully a week away…. Eeeeek!! Lots of redrafting ahead though!

@priyaoshea How is yours?

Almost 3000 words today got me to my two favourite ones.

@bellamackie Just to add, mine were considerably lighter and shorter though for a lot of people they seem to be worse!

@bellamackie I love that you’ve asked this on Twitter Bella because this was a ‘omg same!’ conversation I had with some friends. It wasn’t until it came up that we realised it had affected quite a few of us by either being LOADS worse or just not happening 😳🤷🏽‍♀️
