Because he's not the poser that his sisters are, have to take the opportunities with Jiji when they come.

Up in the nosebleeds for Bright Eyes in London

First 10,000 words of the second draft of Book 3 now done 😁 It's been a slog, but it's really coming together. Time for another red-penning session before moving onto the rest of the story. #booksky

That's enough for the day.

Bluesky moderation being particularly prudish.

I dreamt of a dystopian world in which your favourite colour was assigned to you at birth out of a choice of two. If you said it was anything else, you'd be accused of ignoring the science & being mentally ill. Those assigned that colour would consider you a threat. This post isn't about colours.

3 books you've read at least twice The Water Method Man by John Irving House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski The Accidental by Ali Smith

It's early days yet but I'm so happy with how the second draft of my new novel is going. The decision to ruthlessly cut and replace the original narrator has unlocked it for me. Plot points I was struggling with are now falling into place naturally. Can't wait to see how it turns out! #booksky

Sunny croissant.

Also my wife dolled up for #yorkpride #york #pride #glitter #itdobelikethat

Happy pride, York (and all)! 🏳️‍🌈

What fresh hell... Sure, Copilot, if I had a five-year-old sister I'm sure she'd appreciate the poem I got AI to write for her for her birthday. Do people really do these kind of things?

Uh oh...

Blissfully unaware that her tail is in her water bowl.

During my wife's breast reconstruction, she lost one of her flaps. This breast cancer journey is now taking us to Charleston for another surgery. Purchasing my book helps support my family, and we’re also accepting donations on Venmo and Cash App (@SCarolinaAdamR).

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Visibility isn’t vanity it’s survival. I didn’t promote my first book until the day it launched. Wild. But now I know: if you don’t shout about your book, who will?

When one of your characters starts asking questions that you don’t know the answer to… #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #fantasy 📚💙

If there’s one thing that doing all of these podcasts and reading, all of these books has taught me, it’s how insanely brave people are to put their thoughts out there. It’s time to get off my ass and finish my book I think.

My preorder is live! #lesfic #sapphic #booksky #scifi #romance #wlwbooks #sapphicbooks #fairytaleretelling www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0F8...

if you use AI secretly in your writing, which a lot of people seem to be doing? why are you a writer? The only two pleasures in writing are writing and having written, neither of which you will have done, so what pleasure will you have? The pleasure of being self-published and read by no one?

The "adapt or die" parts of these comments are the most ludicrous. Die how? What are you going to do to us? Let me be clear: You cannot stop creative people from being creative people. The most you can predict is that they won't be able to make money, which is in the hands of people with money.

Love having to have Audacity recording my video podcast as it plays in the background because apparently there's no way to extract audio only from Premiere Rush. Surely there's a better way 😅

I realise I spend all my time reposting other authors book promos and never doing my own. So, I have two books currently out and a third on the way. You can find details here 👉 www.amazon.co.uk/stores/autho...

Ok so I have to do this self publicizing thing which I find so unnerving. Er, buy my book. It’s got very good reviews and is available on platforms other than Amazon. But here’s the Amazon link for ref amzn.eu/d/eDeB1Tb And as ever, reviews are really, really appreciated.
