‘Severance’ Season 2 Is Surreal, Stylish and Worth the Wait: TV Review Season 2 of the hit Apple TV+ drama 'Severance', starring Adam Scott and largely directed by Ben Stiller, is surreal, stylish and worth the wait.

What an intriguing review (and luckily with no spoilers); cannot wait for Severance S2 👀… variety.com/2025/tv/tv-r...

🤓: Sharing snippets from my next book in progress, hope it’s something you’ll be into when it’s said and done 👀…And yes, still here clacking away at the keyboard, so stay with me, because I haven’t given up on author life! (just haven’t figured out how to be in two places at once 🫠💻..)

📣 END OF YEAR BLOG POST: serving up some humour, “ode to travel” energy, slice of life, writing talk, & some hope and inspiration to end the year; enjoy! In the meantime, wishing you a happy holiday🎄, and will be back soon with unhinged ambition 😉✨… romimoondi.wordpress.com/2024/12/20/h... #WriteSky

Tin of chocolate chip cookies with shortbread baked into the middle and red, green, and white sprinkles on top.

Empty tin with only a half cookie left.

I haven’t been able to do my usual amount of holiday baking the last two years, but whenever I do, it makes me happy to see the simple joy it brings, including this morning, when the office crew annihilated these cookies 😅 (chocolate chip with shortbread baked into them—all from scratch!)

Bookstore wall display announcing upcoming events, featuring copies of Romi Moondi’s travel romance books, 24 Hours in Paris, and 24 Hours in Italy.

Hey Toronto: this display at Chapters Woodbridge is to let you know I’ll be signing copies of my books on Feb. 8, 2025! 🤩 Will I see you there to chat travel tips/pasta recipes/sign copies for you—OR your friends if you’ve already read them? Hope so! 😉 (Will remind you closer to the date 🗓️ )

One cool thing I routinely forget about being an author is that WE become the gift idea, the stocking stuffer, or in this case, the Cyber Monday deal. Check it out, Canada, not just for the book lover in your life, but the foodie, too (i.e. lemon pesto pasta recipe included🍝🤤).. shorturl.at/yhdxm

Took a day off from work, told no one, and I WROTE; intense, in-the-zone word count THE WAY THE WRITING GODS INTENDED. Now, did I get distracted after hearing some more tough news on the family front? Yes. But I meditated, and wrote again. A.k.a. she persisted, one sentence at a time ✊🏽… #WriteSky

Thanksgiving was 6 wks ago in Canada, so on this weeknight, spending this brief moment of quiet reminding myself that art created during rough times is all the better for it—proven to be true for my past books, hopefully true on this one, each sentence grinded into being, page after page ✨ #WriteSky

Sometimes you get a 25-min slot to write & you write 300 words, & that’s all the time you’ll get for the day. But that’s 300 more words than you had yesterday. Anyway, was trying to say I wrote 300 words in 25min, & now I gotta stop for the day, but damn, it felt good for those 25min! 🥹🥲 #WriteSky

Oh, I just saw that you’re on this app! It gave me an instant sense of comfort (and anticipatory giggles)..

How are things going here, writer folks? Haven’t had the occasion to post a lot to build a following (or does this app even reward that?), but I do like it, it seems fun, & maybe one day, more writers will find this author gal (I’m not important enough to be on anyone’s “starter packs” right now… 😅)

Okay between this and Island Niles, it’s a great time to be a Niles groupie.

“Delulu arrogant gas bag” is a term I used today. Felt good. Will add to rotation. ✅

The one part of writing AI can’t replace is soul ✨…

You can feed the cycle of derivative writing (next stop: AI), or you can break the cycle. Unrelated (or related?): Pluto re-enters Aquarius today, breaking a 16-year cycle of corporate dominance, corruption, and rigid traditions. Do with that what you will… #writesky #planetarymovements

This year, I had to listen to some writers say “AI helped me flesh out my plot…ChatGPT helped me outline!” Well, I think it’s now clear that what’s aiding you today, is being trained to bury you tmrw. But get paid to help dig your own grave! 😃🤦🏻‍♀️ www.publishersweekly.com/pw/newsbrief... #writesky

Got about 1,000 words written today in those little cracks of free time. I’ll take it, because that’s how this book is going to get done—scrappy, bit by bit, Thomas the Tank “little-engine-that-could” type shit 🚂 ✊🏽… #writesky

Oh I LOVE this. Keep it up! 👏🏽

Right? I had to read the headline twice to make sure something THAT GOOD could be true.

Conan O’Brien to Host 2025 Oscars Ceremony Conan O'Brien is set to host the 97th Oscars ceremony in March 2025.

Sweet, wondrous, magnetic—I know he’d disagree with these adjectives—Conan O’Brien has just given us a reason to actually watch the Oscars 😍… #Oscars #filmsky #AcademyAwards variety.com/2024/film/aw...

Got to write a bit after work, and it felt great 🥹. Just gotta keep building this story bit by bit. So, if you think you’d enjoy this upmarket romance that explores the “what if” of waking up in a world where rom coms, Shakespeare, and the Renaissance itself never existed, stay tuned 👀 … #booksky

This post took me on a ride 😂…

All I want for Christmas is quiet time b/w the holiday and new year’s to write; to prioritize word count over social hangouts, to read a great book when I need inspiration, & to cozy up with liters of tea, vs. the liters of alcohol I’ll be having until then 😂. Dare to dream… ✨ #Writesky #writing

I was glad I found this list as I’m starting out here and am looking for other writers/authors (have followed the whole list now). Anyway Canadian author here, if you could add me to the list when you have time, that would be great, thank you! 😊
