The Six Spoons of Matthews' moods.

Special Magical items found only in the horde of the Elves long past, in deepest recesses of the forests, in the ruins of the shining cities which one thronged with the life of those who sung in joy at the rising of each new sun.

BRISTOLCON (2 of 5): Saturday Morning – Many Meetings The second of Theo's reports on this year's BRISTOLCON! Today, a panel on Arthurian legends, and Joanne Hall's interview with Joanne Harris

What an amazing account of a Convention - BristolCon - by an amazing person too (no, not me).

Plotting The A-Team Way

Plotting a book the A-Team way... writing advice from 2015 over on Fantasy-Faction. I think it stands up as one method to consider.

I was reminded of this tonight as I talked to a friend.

Writing again and returning to a character I love so so much - Corin Hayes. Onto Book 5 which hit 5,500 words this evening and I have plan... always start Corin books with no plan and everything one falls into my lap by around 5 to 10k words.

Apologies for Corin's language πŸ˜€

Was just dozing off when the plot of Corin Hayes book 5 appeared in my head... just like that... and luckily, I keep a journal and a pen next to the bed. All scribbled down!!

I'm experimenting with Facebook ads while trying to see how this new fangled TikTok works... never too old to learn new things (and be confused by them). πŸ˜€

Been out for a run. Slow in the dark and cold, but a run nonetheless...

Stubborn.

Yesterday's ParkRun in Greenwich. It was a good course... not calling it a Hill but instead a gentle rise followed by a lovely Downrise (can't call it hill) section... and a 5km time of 26.50 according to my watch. Also, the photographer managed to capture all my chins in the finish line photo.

My pleasure! I view myself as a public servant of the arts and writing. 🀣

Also, these folks deserve a follow -- I want a feed of writers, readers, artists, musicians... a feed of creative people and those who appreciate them!

Decides to start up Return to Moria... and promptly got lost, made a pickaxe, killed a rat, cooked it and ate it.

Very stereotypical, Rat on a Stick, and also the wrong franchise.

If you don't know already, use typos like other people use swear words... constantly and accidently.

Hinest.

And there's me with the typo and no concentration.

What a cover tells you It is good to keep an eye on the market and how it varies.

Can borrow covers tell us anything about the market?
