Why are they called 'eggplants'? Because they used to look like this. We hope this doesn't throw off your emoji game.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Hark! A new post!!! 'Hark' and its older cousin 'hearken' mean “to listen.” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” could be restated as “Listen to the messenger angels who are singing.” 'Hark' is way more fun to say, though.

The John Le Carré Advent Calendar - My latest @GuardianBooks cartoon.
Title: The John Le Carré Advent Calendar - Available in all good bookshops. Description - December 1st to 23rd: open the door to watch Gerorge Smiley reluctantly uncover a conspiracy as he wanders around the damp, dilapidated London of the seventies. (images of six of the doors, showing a stick figure os Smiley going about his business in shades of browny-gray) December 24th: Having solved the mystery and written his resignation letter, Smiley eats Christmas dinner alone. (image of Smiley at a table with a letter, unappetising portion of food and glass of wine, in browny-gray)

Who comes to tell me a story Of my girlhood days? When I was a little girl, My nanny used to tell That story with A girl and a bogeyman. Hearing her, I would cry. The fable now is another: The girl no longer cries In the middle of the dark. The one afraid is the bogeyman.

“In order to write you need to read a lot.” Yes, but you need to read like a writer. You need to pay attention to how different authors describe characters, transition from scene to scene, build tension. This is the one, most crucial thing that will improve your writing.

In Middle English, ‘to make at one’ was to make amends with someone. Over time, the phrase ‘at one’ gradually merged and eventually gave us the word ATONE.

I seem to inevitably think of one specific poem every single year on 25th April. "Diz" ["Say"] by Maria Teresa Horta starts like this: Say woman to your country how you've fought till now what they made of you what they wanted you to become (...) (translation my own)

My latest cartoon for @GuardianBooks.
Caption: Tim realised with horror that all the other characters in the novel had been significantly revised and refined for the latest draft. Image: A party in an elegant, art-filled apartment, stylish characters drink martinis and exhange barbed bon mots. Apart from the group a single, wobbly stick man stands awkwardly with an anxous look on his simple face.
