The delightful Barney from StoryComic had me on his show again this week <3 You can catch the podcast as StoryComic Presents wherever podcasts are found (episode 253), or you can find the show with visual on YouTube/below if you want to see all the hand-flapping that accompanies my talking 😀 Grab a box of […]
You guys. YOU. GUYS. It is November, and this is Momentous, because it means that the November upload coupons are now available, which means: I can upload the LAST EVER FINAL FINAL PRINT FILES FOR INKLETS!!!!!! Look at my pretty spreadsheet (which you probably can’t actually read because it’s too small, but THAT’S OKAY, JUST

Things that are bringing me joy this week: My seeds are growing, growing, and they are officially seedlings now instead. Realising that Monday is my best Get Stuff Done day, and Thursday is my best Positive Energy day. (A weirdly consistent pattern.) Planning a cover for a 2023 non-fiction release with the cover artist 🙂
I was going to say that this is a slightly lazy option this week, but LET’S BE HONEST a) it took me three hours to make and b) why is creativity and making things any less valuable if it’s something practical instead of something Art? Hmm?!?! HA. Right. So. Today we have marmalade, made from

Habits are so dang difficult, aren’t they? All the will in the world, and you still can’t just MAKE yourself Do The Thing that you actually really want to do. It’s terribly frustrating. Hence my lil grid of boxes at the back of my diary for the year, a tiny incentive to nudge myself onward

…It’s not really topical, I just liked the alliteration. I have a bunch of ideas of things that I want to post about after having not posted in so long, but the problem is I keep thinking of them while I’m not at the computer, or my phone, or even somewhere with a pen-and-paper. I’m
I realised on the weekend that Define Good, the novel I was working on in Jan/Feb and the next book in the Kaditeos series, has about 50k to go until it’s done. If you’ve been around in the writing world at all for a while, you’ll know 50k is a Special Number: it’s the number
