Indie writer: get up at 7am at best, work 8 hours doing an actual job, walk 10km in the course of a year, do all domestic chores, go to bed at midnight exhausted. I mesmerise myself writing 5 words a day, all wrong. Writing eludes me.
SAS argue writing a novel is not like survival training at all
Graphic novel sans is the grown up version of comic sans

But garlic granules and sesame seeds do look very similar to be fair.....
Anyone ever made that mistake?

If you're into tales of ghosts, stolen music and betrayal, this might just be the best way to start 2026
Can't say it's a form I have tried but will have to give that a go!

I have started a new substack, all about people, culture and the weird world of work. You will find (almost) true stories, discover what HR and OD people do when no ones looking and why frustrated writers amble the moors at night in search of an audience.

Treat your characters kindly, they have their flaws but you did make them that way

Just published a piece on my website page full of errors, didn't make sense.
Thankfully I was making the point that it is fine to trust your instincts as long as you recognise your flaws.
It has been corrected now
Taking anti inflammatories at the moment but they aren't working.
I'm still really annoyed by everything
Did I set out to write a novella? No.
Did I think it would be a ghost story? Also no.
Writing can surprise you, both with how the story turns out and what you are capable of. Keep Writing
