Just signed off an email with "have a good weekend!" thinking it was Friday today - but it's Thursday.
If you need me, I'll be hiding forever. π«£ππ€¦ββοΈ
It's #WorldBookDay I should probably mention that I've written two epic fantasy novels and a business self-help book for freelancers (because goodness knows I don't shout about them much or enough)... π

I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon 2026 on behalf of the mental health non-profit Heads Above The Waves. Here's some photos of me outside their shop from today's 8-mile round-trip run. π Please donate if you can: cardiffhalf26.enthuse.com/pf/steve-mor...
Got some new business headshots done! Big love to James Fisher of FisherFilm (@fisherfilm.bsky.social) for doing them, and for Rabble Studio in Cardiff Bay for being our backdrop.

This is so cool - I've been animeified! π
The first blog post on the Anti-Sell blog in a year and a half... Talking about how I've dropped the networking ball this past 1-2 years and what I'm doing about it: anti-sell.com/blog/what-ha...
My YouTube channel - DM of the Mists - turns two-years-old today! (It doesn't feel that long!) Big thanks to everyone who's watched a video, Liked, commented, subscribed, etc. etc.
Proud of this! π (It only took 2 years...) ππ
If you've messaged me via the contact forms on either the Anti-Sell or SteveMorganAuthor sites recently, it's just come to light that the forms randomly stopped working at some point recently & I've not been receiving messages. Sorry! I've not been ignoring you. π π« Trying to fix them ASAP. Thanks.
I've been keeping a casual eye on my channel's total views, and I can't believe I checked it when it was exactly *that* amountβ¦! π€― (Usually it's a random number that isn't rounded up/down, like 98,274 or something.)
The oldest wanted me to show him what Skyrim was like. Booted up a new game for the first time in years. He got bored after 10 mins & left me to it. Iβm now hours into a Khajiit mage build thatβs doing the College of Winterhold questlineβ¦ πΉπΌ #Skyrim
Dropped the oldest off at his friend's Halloween party. Another kid was dressed as Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. I said "Orthur!" in the way Dutch says his name. Cue very confused-looking kids, as no one got the reference. Oldest says "bye dad," walks in & closes the door. Ugh... ππ«
Nice! I feel like I slept on Albion when it first came out - rediscovered it recently & fell in love with it. CJ's stuff is great - Mable is my fave album of his. I think I remember really liking Slots - I'll have to give it a relisten. Let me know what you think of the rest if you check 'em out. π€
My fave running albums! πββοΈπ€
β’ The Flatliners - Inviting Light (my all-time fave)
β’ Ginger Wildheart - Albion
β’ New Junk City - Beg a Promise
β’ Los Campesinos! - All Hell
β’ Beach Slang - The Things We Do To Find...
β’ CJ Wildheart - Siege

Oakan! βπΈ

Please? π I just wanna geek out about D&D with other D&D people... π€
Looking for a name for your band? Look no further than D&D's monster sizes & classifications!

Medium Fiend
The Small Giants
etc. etc.

Started watching Samurai Jack from the beginning again, this time with my oldest. Been a fan of this show since it started nearly 25 years ago. But itβs only today I realised the theme music is by will.i.am of pre-big-time-fame Black Eyed Peas. How did I not know this?! π€―
Remembering the time my cat Pepper cosplayed as Dr Manhattan from Watchmen. I think she nailed it!
I couldn't even tell you / can't even remember how I came up with some of mine (thinking of the novels now, not D&D). I think some were from random name generators, possibly tweaked/reworked rather than used as-is. One was inspired by a Final Fantasy spell. Sorry I can't be of much help.
Spent the day at a coworking space conscious that my laptopβs fan was really loud - only to find out at the end of the day (when I switched off the laptop) that someone elseβs laptop was responsibleβ¦ ππ
Don't forget that DEMONS I is currently only Β£0.99/$0.99/β¬0.99 on Kindle at the moment - for a limited time only. Here's the link to the Amazon UK page: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFX4KSZ7
