My doctor is getting stronger. I’m up to six apples a day and he just keeps inching closer

Slightly belated congratulations!

The younger me would be TERRIFIED of the older me. And by the time he wasn’t terrified, I wouldn’t have a lot to say other than “dude, it will be SHIT for years, but it will get better… not like you have it NOW better, obviously… anyway, enjoy yourself while you can!” and then I’d wish I kept quiet.

Oh, but we all thought energy companies were no longer evil and totally dedicated to helping the environment! (I don’t think anybody actually thought that.)

It's the fact your characters act like they live in that world that makes it real, not the worldbuilding.

Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro has joined calls for the UK government to “reconsider and change course” when it comes to AI, warning that “no one believes the proposed ‘opt-out’ system will work”. 👇 #BookSky

I wouldn’t do a permafree book – cue in me doing it three months from now (probably not) – but I very much like doing free promos. The last one I did for Storytellers was… three years ago? four? …and someone just read the entire book on Kindle Unlimited. Those work. Read Tim’s post for his take.

Because I fancy jumping around projects, I’ll be giving the #podcast some TLC over the next few days (probably). For starters, we have a new show cover (below). I’d also like to update the audio for the earlier episodes to meet my current standards/sound preferences. #norse #viking #history

Today we say happy birthday to the incredible Empire’s Daughter (aged TEN!) and Empire’s Passing by @marianlthorpe.bsky.social – perfect moment to buy the whole series, or at least grab a copy of Daughter at 0.99.

I am CACKLING. The ‘English runic’ texts give me the same sort of joy.

I just found, to my great surprise, that it’s still free on #Kobo until tomorrow. I thought that was a 4-day promotion, but it’s a week. It was described as “ #Grimdark AF” even though it features a total of zero battles and the only sword is used for slapstick purposes. #NorseMythology remixed.

#LifeHack #ProTip When you’ve had a mole removed on your shoulder this morning, and in the evening a small fly you’ve been chasing all day lands on your shoulder, DO NOT SLAP THE FLY (or rather the shoulder). I know it’s tempting. Trust me, though. DO NOT SLAP. Shoo it away gently. Coexist in peace.

Hey #BookSky 📚 peeps who have Kobo - this is a steal for such an awesome story. Today's the last day!

Who DOESN’T need this? (I didn’t know David Byrne was so…wide.)

My primary motivations to write: 1. Those words want out. Those people want to be heard. I mean, characters. They’re not real people at all. I would never think or say that. Ahaha. Anyway, I can’t stop. *long pause* 666. It’s nicer to tell people I am an author than that I am disabled.
