Innsyn Onym

Sometimes I like to curl up in ball…

‘Britain needs bold reform’ so they’re going to recruit half the party that got absolutely battered in the last election. You know, the ones who created the situation that needs to be reformed…

And yet…

Watching the puppy play with a pinecone on the kids trampoline did my heart the world of good today.
🐶❤️

Alright, who put springs in the puppies legs? Fess up. I cannot cope with this pogo beast.

For me it’s the police press conference on a banana/pirate ship ride

I always enjoy handball at the olympics and then forget about it for four years

This #AFCON final is insane!

Welcome to the glamorous world of inconsistent executive function, starring my overcooked nervous system and its deeply unhelpful sense of timing…

Have read the reply thread, and am now confused if you do actually want more brutally honest reviews or not… but if you do then sign me up ✍️

#BluePit #F #SF #M

When a mysterious new patient starts behaving like a feral animal, a psychic healer enters their mind… only to find a trapped Angel who can communicate solely through the memories of a dead woman. It all goes a bit MNEMON.

I doubt I will ever see true nuclear fusion in my lifetime, but I love reading little updates about tokamak designs, plasma containment progress, and how the ITER build is coming along (2033 baby!)
Just your everyday armchair fusion fan, I suppose.

Haggis has a hole in his roof. He never fixes it because on rainy days it is too wet to work And on sunny days it doesn’t need fixing — This is me but with mental illness

My spouse sent me this.
Don’t know what they’re talking about.

Ooohh… gives me Frank Miller vibes 👌

Ooh, someone else doing an angel story 😁

Viv loves her Uncle JJ, the mad inventor and only member of her family who isn’t afraid of her (she can see it in their thoughts).
#BluePitHype
Angel loves a dead woman, Nico, the mortal soul it was stuck judging indefinitely when the Devine System broke. It watched her life a thousand times.

#BluePitHype
Viv is afraid that her Mother’s going to convince everyone she’s devil spawn and her whole home island turns on her and execute her.
Angel is afraid that Lightbringer has done something to the Almighty and the Divine Order has been shattered.

Buddy-cop leads:
- Vividian, teen psychic healer
- The Angel of Judgement, decides where mortals spend their afterlife
#BluePitHype
Viv is most proud of her mobility-assistant ape, Dorkus
Angel doesn’t feel pride, that’s a human thing. It embodies a cosmic function, the closest it gets is satisfied

—To shrink images on mobile 👍

I mean… it’s definitely fixable 😝
Standard approach is to add something to the CSS to disable word wrap around images on small screens, so in mobile text restarts after the image.
Second option would be to set a max width and max screen width on images, so in mobiles the image scales down.

FYI - You’ve got some formatting issues with this review on mobile

I’m not usually much of a mood board maker (pictures are plenty clear when I close my eyes) but I had a go 😁

I’m aiming for the sort of dense, baroque, grotesque-beauty that Mieville nailed in Perdido St Station, but with a dash of Tamsyn Muir in the character work, and a a wee bit of Ian Banks in the framework

👋 Good timezone #BluePitHype humans,

My name is Innsyn, from Wales.
Ex scriptwriter turned corporate data wrangler.
Read an awful lot, write when kids, puppy and brain-weevils allow.

Wrapping up editing on an indie charity anthology, and my main WIP is a weird literary sci-fantasy 🙃

Good luck!
Do you know which reviewer you’ll be assigned to yet?

Oh, this hurts my eyes! 🫣

Book cover for The Other Wind by Ursula Le Guin

The next book on my reading list is The Other Wind (Earthsea #5) - and I keep putting it off.
I never fell in love with Earthsea.
Which makes a bit sad, because so many people whose book opinions I normally agree with adore them.
What am I missing?
