I've been giving feedback on a friend's novel and it was so much fun. I really love reading an already great book and being excited to see the next version. πŸ™‚

Can someone explain why photographers mob celebrities at airports? They rarely get "good" pics of anyone and the celebrities always look tired / miserable. Has always seemed weird to me πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Time to shake things up πŸ˜‚ My pants have been sitting around, unloved for too long so time to deploy the vortex mixer!

Just went back to my day job this week and everyone keeps asking me how my break was... I want to reply "Good. 30K of editing good." but that's insufficient to express my glee to non-writers. 🀣

Currently a sequel to a lighthearted sci fi adventure I put out last year. (Thanks for asking πŸ™‚)

Rewrites for the one I've been working on. Tonal edit on the one I'm heading back to. πŸ™‚

I've got to the middle of the novel I'm currently editing and have run out of steam. As this novel only seems to possess my brain at Christmas (no idea why), will I have to wait 12 months before I work on it again? πŸ˜‚ Good thing I have another WIP to work on!

A new friend is joining me while I edit today. Not sure what her opinion on my book is but I'm glad she's here 😁

Sometimes a novel you're working on can feel like running through treacle. Enter my current WIP. Yet, when I checked, I found I was already a quarter of the way through the draft! I try not to obsess over word count, but sometimes you need to check if the treacle is an illusion.

This same week in 2022 I was ambushed by a novel demanding to be written. Unruly things that they are!

Right now, I'm editing that same novel. Because apparently this book will only show up at Xmas demanding attention. πŸ˜‚

I'm sorry that you lost a friend like that. Photos of people in our lives can be so important for remembering them as years pass.

Three panels, one showing an unpainted player piece and two showing the painted front and back views. The mini is of a tree spirit with a miss cloak and deer skull head.

From grey plastic to fully painted! Ancient Leshan is a cool mini from one of the Witcher sets for Umatched. So much fun to paint!

Last year I went to a gaming convention. This year I'm at a speculative fiction writer's convention.
This is the life! 😁

It's amazing how much news I don't see since the death of newspapers. I realised this the first time I had no idea who was playing - used to see so much on the front page displayed at the newsstand or someone reading on the train! 🀣
