“Procrastination is an emotion regulation problem, not a time management problem.” Pychl, (2019) In other words, procrastination is less about a task you’re delaying and more about the underlying feelings induced by the task you’re avoiding.

Even though I haven’t blogged regularly in years, my old posts still get steady traffic — and that quiet support means a lot. So I’ve decided to return with something new (and very me): introducing some of my favourite London neighbourhoods. 🙂 First up: #CrouchEnd mitriel.com/2025/05/16/a...

“The parchment was like a dead friend’s skin under my touch. Its wrinkles and age spots a testament to its fight against time’s claws, the ink turning into its own ghost as it whispered my story back to me.” Vespera, Book 2 of The Order Of The Dragon #AmWriting

The author of A Gamble of Gods has my banter blood book! Honoured. It's in front of an amp I think as well? Far cooler positioning than it deserves but 10/10 colour match.

Lovely to catch up with @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social and @mitriel.bsky.social in the bar alongside Eastercon. Great to chew over the joys of writing and reading in Grimdark times! Good luck with the coach tour tomorrow and I hope you enjoy two of my favourite castles! #Dunluce #CarrickFergus

The Book That Held Her Heart is one of the most emotional and satisfying endings to a trilogy I've read in a while. #booksky

Doctor Strange has the best character arc in Marvel history. Tony Stark is a very close second. I will die on this hill.

I gave £5 today to a woman begging for change at the tube station. While I regularly donate small amounts for causes online, I don’t normally give people money on the street. She however looked truly desperate. The way she kept apologising once I gave her the money completely broke my heart.

St Bartholomew the Great is a medieval Anglican church in central London, about a five-minute walk from my work. It happened to be almost empty today—worth visiting in winter if you’d like to avoid the crowds.
