‘He cannot see the world beyond his frost-covered eyes, but he knows Mia is out there’: I love this story by @carcionejay.bluesky.social. The tension between hope and dread it sets up is so powerful. Do read it, if you have the chance #writingcommunity

‘But as the normal countryside recedes, I begin to feel hemmed in by loss, by the absence of human involvement, by a sense of all the things that have escaped me in life.’ I really enjoyed this meditative, psychologically astute story, by @polyscribe70.bsky.social @theargylelitmag.bsky.social

So honoured that my story My Past is Not My Future will be read on the brilliant Sherry's Shorts today, along with stories by Mary Beth Fuller and Sherry herself! If you haven't come across this show (on Inverness Hospital Radio) it's a gem, both for the patients and as a forum for the short story.

I really recommend submitting to Fictive Dream - it’s a great place to be published, and Laura is so supportive and works so hard to publicise stories on social media and find beautiful images for them

I love my local Oxfam bookshop - I only had five minutes there before it closed this evening, but still managed to find these 💙📚 #BookSky #books

www.jjournal.org/current-issue The cartoon voice saying, "I am what I am," sounds simplistic. But we are what we are and like. We like low-to-the ground, less-is-more, tangential routes to justice. Still, in new issue #35, more than real seems possible; possible enough to move toward the fantastic.

Happy #Caturday! It’s six years today since this beautiful, incredibly affectionate three-legged cat turned up crying on our path a few weeks after her owner died. I’m still feeling lucky that she decided to move in! #CatsofBlueSky #cats
