Denise @CommitteeChat 6:30pm tonight. Please don’t be late.

Catrin @Emma Denise is totally referencing you.

Denise @CommitteeChat The rota states that Emma will be taking the minutes this evening.

Catrin @Emma God forbid you fuck up the rota. Lol.

Emma @CommitteeChat The rota doesn’t know yet but I’m not coming and I’m quitting too. Byyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Catrin @Emma OMG. I am dying.

Denise @CommitteeChat We have bylaws for procedures such as these. We do not accept.

Emma @CommitteeChat OK! Arrest me Denise. Over and out babe.

AuthorLou @Emma Sorry it’s early. And you so don’t need to reply quickly. I don’t want to be *that* author. I’ve just been on Amazon and I’ve got 2 new reviews today! But one of them was a 1 star that said the binding is loose and I was wondering if I need to ask Amazon to take it down?

AuthorLou @Emma Sorry! Should have added it to my last message. So I’ve just been on Goodreads and someone has 1 starred it saying that they think Carl is a bit rapey. Do you think I should mark their review as offensive?

AuthorLou @Emma He’s not rapey is he?

Emma @AuthorLou He is a bit rapey and I remember telling you precisely that on the edit notes that you studiously ignored.

AuthorLou @Emma Sorry! Last one I promise! Should I worry that I’ve got no reviews yet on the Waterstones site? I’ve checked other authors with books out in the same week as me and some have got over three so far. Does it matter?

Emma @AuthorLou Nothing matters.

Hattie @Emma Time for a catch-up at lunch?

Poppy @Mum Dad says he doesn’t know where my blazer is.

Emma @Poppy Wear anything. Love you. X

Dan @Emma Love you OK, if you need me to pick you up from work I will. X X
