Last night I downloaded the Solasta II demo and I'm happy to say that it's very promising indeed.

I got a copy of the @illumicrate.bsky.social's special Jane Austen collection and I can't wait to get these gorgeous books up on my shelf.

I have been 100% distracted from editing the manuscript I should to writing the cosy fantasy that has lived in my head since the Cymera Writers' Conference (so it's been about 3 months).

This could go either way.

I got the post-con flu (this is my fault for not getting my flu jab when due for the first time in 6 years) and I'm still recovering, but World Fantasy Con was such a great time.

The travel to Brighton for @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social is long, but I can’t wait. Currently in Durham. Stepped out of the coach and my knees are stiff af.

IT'S KEEF DAY!! #sheith

Oh to play Baldur’s Gate without it crashing at the worse moments!!!

I only managed 1.5 of these things but that’s to be expected I think 😂 thanks adhd

Plans for the long 4 day weekend :D

* house chores
* bookshelf sorting (again)
* iron on patches on sff skirt project
* finish (?) bg3
* outline prequel short story
* worldbuild secret project idea

I’m trying to finish act three of baldur’s gate 3 and it’s not going great but Gortash is no more!

Today I submitted my first (actually finished) short story to a competition. It's not the best thing I've ever written, but it's my first complete original piece, so I'm proud of it regardless.

Yeah, I would probably also not return to it. But that's still ok. Also if you have other books that you are really eager to read now and this one isn't appealing, it's fine to DNF. If it's like a couple hours to finish it, then maybe just stick with it? But it's another 10 hours... DNF for sure

Pair of classic black converse all stars with galaxy/nebula inspired fabric glued on the tongue of the shoes and under the laces.

I'm going to start making some sci-fi and fantasy book inspired embroidery hoop art. I'm open to ideas/commissions.

I, also, embroider shoes and possibly other garments.

I had one of these too. Really popular one and if it wasn't an audiobook I would have DNF'ed it cause it was just so bad. My rule is 30% or about 100-150 pages in. But I think it's fine to DNF at any point. Or you can pause it to read something else and come back to it?

Had a trial for a new job today and I'd love it, but I won't know until next week and the wait is going to kill me!

Suddenly really excited about World Fantasy. It'll be my first year going. Travel booked to go as well as accommodation.
