Hello Bluesky! My kids both love drawing comics and I am particularly struck by how expressive and dynamic this page drawn by my 9yo is. Happy Sunday!

I realise I never posted these on here but this morning I found out that THE HYSTERICAL GIRLS OF ST BERNADETTE’S has earned its fourth starred review, so here you go: Four stars, all in a row ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I feel the need to reintroduce myself on this platform after being gone so long, so like…hi? I’m Hanna. I write books.

Hullo Penang readers. Please come to my last event of the year, or I will be sad (but also if you ask nicely I might give you a Hysterical Girls enamel pin!)

I was rooting for the Tall Guy and the Tall Girl from the clock app and then I discovered they’re Tr*mpies

Hello! It is Wednesday! Drink more water, tell the people you care about that you care about them, pet a floof, stretch, take a nap just because, look up at the sky and find shapes in the clouds, pay a compliment to a random stranger, take a walk, take a breath, take some time for yourself.

An unintended consequence of weaning myself off Twitter is that because it was my main social media of choice I have effectively weaned myself off posting on the internet at large, which means I am one step closer to my final hermit form wherein I simply disappear into a cave never to return

Today on my morning jog/walk I met an extremely fluffy cat wearing a BOW TIE like a fancy little gentleman and it has made my day exponentially better.

I just had the mind boggling realisation that September is this Friday and I need to lie down. Who allowed this. How is it already the last third of 2023 when I’m still processing 2020

Because I have personally been dealing with a lot of…everything…writing has felt like the equivalent of mental constipation for MONTHS now, and tonight I finally turned in a thing, and it is actually pretty damn good, and I am proud of it, and of myself. And now I will sleep for the next two days.

I guess I should finally do one of those introductory posts on here. Hello everyone. My name is Hanna Alkaf, and I write critically-acclaimed, sometimes-award-nominated, sometimes-even-award-winning, very Malaysian MG and YA novels.

The demise of Twitter makes me sad. It was the birthplace of both my writing community and advocacy, and I’m not sure how much of either I can scrape back together on another platform. But here I am, attempting it anyway.

I was on Theeads for about two minutes and got major “celebrities singing Imagine during COVID” vibe so I left

I am on Twitter. I am on Instagram. I am on BlueSky. I am on Threads. I am the faint scent of jasmine on a midnight breeze tickling the back of your neck. I am the echo of laughter dancing just on the edge of your hearing, a shadow in the corner of your eye. I am a haunting.

What I really want is a social network that allows me to live an online life equivalent to those old Gnomes books. A cozy little virtual burrow. A digital hobbit hole.
Cover of the book “Gnomes”, text by Wil Huygen and illustrated by Rien Poortvliet. Double page spread from a Gnomes book, featuring a full colour cutaway illustration of the inside of a Gnome house.

Please let this platform be the one that sticks, I do not have it in me to keep signing up for things I will promptly forget the passwords to, if this sinks please know I will simply disappear into the abyss
