When people talk of the Old Ones in the Hollow Hills, there is an assumption of familiarity. Folklore is so embedded we're often left to unfold its details and meanings from the briefest of mentions. We do not have to ask what the Old Ones look like, it's something we've always known. – #CLNolan

The set of The Addams Family was actually Pastel Goth

Latest episode of my #DeepSpaceNine podcast now online, where I discuss each episode with my friend Kat who has never seen it before, and we drink wine. We called it Deep Space Wine. Look the originality is in the nonsense we babble towards the end!

It's #NationalPuppyDay

Do not pander. Do not dumb down. Trust your audience to be smarter than you. Trust them to be curious. Don’t erase your own voice for spurious bowing down to factors that bring nothing to the stories you need to tell. #Writing

My projects? Pitchforked.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

This is reminding me of the amazing sign I saw in Kyoto!

Goodnight from Martha Gad, her witch wages this week extending to several extra port and lemons down The Wren’s Crown. Goodnight from 36 Garston Street, where the poltergeist has grown tired of knocking walls and has turned its attention to building a chapel from Lego. Goodnight from Hookland.

It's a packed weekend for me, hope yours is good too!

"Let's get dressed up and go to the bookshop" totally needs to be a thing.
