Today’s jumper is this one which is inspired by a character out of a terrible game I play every day called Dead by Daylight, where you play as a survivor trying to escape murderers. It was actually one of the inspirations for the book I’m hoping to go on sub with soon…

I am sick and feeling sorry for myself so please buy my books and review my books and also trick other people into doing this too and then I will feel better. This new marketing strategy brought to you by the varicella-zoster that has risen inside me like a phoenix ready for the runway.

A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out

Fun fact: one time my immune system randomly attacked my brachial nerve for no reason (agonising, yes) and I had to rehab my arm and shoulder for about two years to be able to raise my hand higher than my chest and do that nice armpit flashing pose I do all the time for pics.

Me: “So much bad stuff keeps happening and I’m handling all of this stress well.” My body: “We’re dying, right? What’s happening? Shall I make the skin on the right side of your torso painful just to light touch?” Me: “Ow, no?! Why would you do that?” My body: “Idk why does anyone do anything?”

The real pandemic is of unqualified twits spunking money on useless nonsense then when the time comes to invest in fundamental requirements the say the purses are now empty and everything continues to crumble and collapse while they lament ‘but we spent all that money…’

My primary motivations to write: 1. My head is too full of thoughts. Writing a book is like shoving a spile in my temple and letting some of them out. 2. When people read my books sometimes it feels like they understand me. When I am face-to-face with people in real life I can’t make words good.

It's my Grandma's funeral in two weeks and I hate that the funeral itself is the 'easy' part. I'll be working the days either side, the drive is three hours each way…still fine. But I have to be around people I barely know trying to talk to me and touch me then go to a buffet. NIGHTMARE.

The good news: I finally figured out how to properly gear one of the stories I’m revising into the YA genre. The bad news: It requires the addition of a new character and plumbing them in through the entire story.

Today’s featured jumper is this loose knit green one I put on especially to take this cheeky picture for you and then changed into something else because it’s too cold to actually wear it today. Earring & rings: Etsy, necklace: Alighieri, Scar: False-widow spider, legs: author’s own.

I have HEDS (hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) & hold my pen in a modified grip to be comfy for my joints. School put a rubber grip on to force me to hold pens ‘correctly’ which hurt. Torturing kids trying to make them conform doesn’t work, just causes pain and makes them hate you. Get it yet?

One day I really think we need to come together in a supergroup of shameless authors that post themselves in a state of partial undress and do the literary equivalent of a Calendar Girls special. If you’re one of those authors and like this post I’m adding you to my list for when the time comes…

How do I weather horrible one star reviews of my books? I honestly don’t mind them. Having the wrong pronouns used as I’m criticised feels more of an attack. Not every story is for everyone. When I publish a story, it’s a snapshot of my objectives and abilities at that time. I grow like a weed.

“Post your most Daddy pic,” they keep saying. No. Idk how old I am. I will post myself at my most baby. Always.

Storytellers will be the ones to see us through this. Stories help us remember where we come from and what we’ve been through. They inspire us to imagine new and better futures. A love of storytelling fosters empathy, compassion, and curiosity.

We’ve been playing the Resident Evil 2 remake this weekend (well, I have, fiancé watches too scared to hold the controller) and it’s great! My favourite weapon is of course the knife because why not? Fiancé is particularly terrified of Mr X who I keep teasing because of Leon x Mr X romance is canon.

To Rory, Letting people you’re paying for work treat you like shit and ghost you get away with it repeatedly because they act quite nice every time they finally do talk to you is not how you should conduct yourself as a creator or a business person. Love, Rory.

Well the world is definitely influencing my writing. I can’t seem to get through a plot without one sweet or sensible character in the ensemble becoming more morally grey and pivoting the entire narrative with their righteous fury 😅

Wait, is wanting to be choked a sexual kink or are we just excited about potentially not having to deal with so much shit from the world anymore?
