Updated currently reading:

What are you currently reading?

Thank you! 😂

After writing 11,253 words this week, my current first draft has just hit 90,000 words!

Wants and Wishes Now, I have about a dozen wants and wishes. Ok, maybe I have a little more than that. Most of which surround being an author. In this post, however, I aim to get a little bit more specific and talk…

New blog post is live!

This month I am talking mainly about my Science Fiction world that I am currently querying and the dreams I have for it. I even drop what it is currently titled.

If you’re interested, please check it out!

Physically I’m at my desk. Mentally I’m in a fantastical realm naming swords.

I’m a sci-fi and fantasy writer! Not currently published, but I am looking to publish a sci-fi/dystopian book.

Yeah, so it can be used for multiple things.
Currently my computer is solely used for writing.

As much as I am attached to my very old mac (it’s 13 years old - I think?)

I think my main goal of 2025 should be to finally save up enough cash for a new computer. I have wanted a gaming PC for the longest time and just keep putting it off. Maybe this is the year I finally get one.

I should probably introduce myself!

My name is Danielle. I’m a Scottish neurodivergent Fantasy & Science Fiction Writer. 📚🪐

I like books, games and art which will take up my posts.

I have a cat, her name is Luna. Gorgeous but a touch crazy.

If any of this interests you, maybe stick around?

First up:

My Lord of the Rings section with Frodo Quackins. The Hobbit house was purchased separately, but doesn’t it go so well?

Reading Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard. Really interesting concepts and I’m getting lost in it. Exactly what you want in a Sci-fi.

What is everyone else #currentlyreading over the festive period? #booksky

Books I got for Christmas!

Not seen are the books I will most likely buy myself with the money I was given.

#booksky #books

Amazing!
Hope you have a great time reading them. ☺️

Remember the hobbit!

So, how many people got books for Christmas?

Show me what ones you got!

Merry Christmas from me, Alex and Nova! I hope your day is wonderful and filled with love.
To those who don't celebrate I wish the same! ❄️🎄

I’ve been on a year long book ban to catch up on my TBR.

Preordering a book that releases next year doesn’t count though, right? Right?

#booksky #lordoftherings

Starting a reread of a grand adventure!

What are you currently reading?

Literally just finished the Burning God by R.F. Kuang and I sobbed. Literally sobbed.

If you haven’t read the Poppy War trilogy I recommend it wholeheartedly just prepare for the tears that may come.

My website is now live!
www.DanielleDorman.co.uk

It would mean the world if you even have a glance.

The link, along with the Newsletter sign up page, can be found on my linktree in my bio.

I’ll be launching my website at 5pm today (UK)
On my site you’ll be able to sign up for my Newsletter which will be sent out before Christmas.

The link will be posted on here when it goes live and any support given will be hugely appreciated.

I am making a website and honestly it is so fun! I’ve never made one before.

I’m pretty excited for people to see it when it’s all live and ready to go! Even more excited for whenever I have publishing news to showcase on it.

"Video games cause violence"

Meanwhile, me reloading my save because I accidentally made one of the characters sad

This is my fear. Between multiple perspectives and all the plot I seem to keep finding I fear for how long it’s gonna be.

I’m currently writing a dual perspective fantasy book and yet…

The voices are begging me to add more perspectives. What’s another one? Maybe a fourth to keep it balanced.

Hmm, the possibilities.

My brain just gave me a massive lore drop for my Fantasy book while washing my hair, so I wrote 1000 words of lore with my hair in a towel.

Writer problems, am I right?
