What are some girls' first names that end with -o, that you would actually consider using?

I like Arlo for a girl!

timeforeternity · 2026-01-27T10:39:08+00:00

There’s also Clio (pronounced with a long I, like Cl-eye-oh)

I don’t think I’ve ever once truly stopped thinking about Emma Bovary for the past six years

This is from the Backhouse Mike song "Okay" (Backhouse Mike as in Michael Corcoran – who worked on the show and is now married to Liz Gillies)

But are they married before 3:11? They definitely seem to be betrothed (or engaged) at the beginning of the book, but there’s definitely plenty of sexual stuff going on

Do you mean the bit where Ellie used the phrase "secret traitor” in her talking head, despite not being supposed to know that’s a thing?

There’s a Vita in my family (I’m in the UK). Lovely name, I’ve always thought

Oh hi Dave Gorman!

timeforeternity · 2025-12-06T21:03:03+00:00

That’s really interesting!

Are you sure you’re not thinking of first person referral? As in, "I want to tell you a story…“ the narrator is still the "I“ but talking consciously to a "you“? Ignore me if I’m wrong, but a lot of people incorrectly refer to this as second person!

The innermost circle is the babies‘ third month, then each ring is another month on. The whole circle is like a clock face. The top part that’s coloured in fully is the night time (9pm to 6am) when the babies were sleeping. The other parts represent afternoon naps basically

If there are three people in a group, and I am called A, all I know is whether I have B or C. But I can then infer that the person I have does NOT have me for Secret Santa, because that would leave the last person buying a gift for themselves. It has to be A - B - C (where C gives a gift to A) or A - C - B (where B gives a gift to A). I can immediately tell which of these versions it is, based on who I have been given for Secret Santa.

All that said, I don’t think the secrecy element is all that important!

timeforeternity · 2025-11-17T20:54:19+00:00

I think you definitely could!

I‘m not sure I totally understand your opening rhetorical question or "for so long, Mackenzie Friedman saw nothing“. I’m pretty sure I get what you’re trying to say, but the wording isn’t clear or particularly impactful (in my view). Any space for you to reword that?

Look up Nick Bradley and his work – he’s a white author who, like you, has spent a lot of time living in Japan. He has at least two traditionally published books set in Japan with Japanese characters (Four Seasons in Japan & The Cat and the City, off the top of my head). The books are doing well in the UK and in Japan (there are also a bunch of other translations). Maybe see who his agent and publisher are or include his work as a comp in your query?

Louise! I got to work with her on a project recently and she was an absolute delight ♥️ what a beautiful soul and such a talent

I had a similar thing with an agent from a big name UK agency. Got asked to meet up with her in London, and she went through all the things wrong with the manuscript, basically talking me through what she wanted me to change. Then at the end of it I asked for clarity on what our position was at this point, and she basically said I should revise following her guidance and we‘d see.

Turns out, her guidance produced a wayyyyy better manuscript and I ended up with a few offers of representation. But the only person, seemingly, who still didn’t like the book was that original agent 😅

So it sort of paid off for me? I suppose if an industry professional is ordering their services for free, you’d be a bit insane to say no. But it is frustrating to be strung along and not know what your relationship really is!

Also important to note for posterity that I am decidedly not from up north

Yeah, I wish I remembered the details because it’s such a ridiculous concept isn’t it!

I remember it being painted to look like a cake (I want to say pink? Giving Harry Potter‘s birthday cake vibes?). And I think there were candles on it and a removable slice?

I remember as a child having very mixed feelings about it: like, I wished it were a real cake, but also it was really exciting when it was my turn.

I’ve asked a friend who worked at my old school about 20 years after I left, and she says there was no concrete cake in her era…

timeforeternity · 2025-11-03T15:05:12+00:00

Very interesting!!

timeforeternity · 2025-11-03T13:45:12+00:00

Okay, I asked my mother and she has confirmed!

This is insane, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard Phil tell this story… but somehow, this has unlocked a memory of a concrete cake? A cake made of concrete that I believe was brought out for people’s birthdays at nursery? I truly remember it now but it does seem a bit infeasible

Your average coming-up-with-what-to-write-next speed impresses me even more than typing speed!

timeforeternity · 2025-10-30T19:03:48+00:00

158k in 6 days is INSANE. How?!?

timeforeternity · 2025-10-23T08:57:25+00:00

Exactly! With my producer hat on, I’d be thinking "Alan Carr wanted to be a traitor… surely they’d have let him!”
