The 2:21am drunk outside my bedroom window made an interesting insomnia hour last night. ‘Everything we went through, wail, wail.‘ Yeah, I know.

I’m thrilled to share Issue 5 of Underbelly Press! Our website (in bio) features a PDF copy to download or read as a flipbook: underbellypress.wixsite.com/home/copy-of...

I wrote this story in a mood during summer. The heat, the crowds, the emotional stuff that happens when we feel caged & then autumn comes along & changes everything. So happy to be published with Underbelly Press. Here it is. Beneath the Sun #writing underbellypress.wixsite.com/home/copy-of...

Just put a ten pt guess to J on this shot. He said, well it’s not local is it, the road’s too straight. #scape

5:30 was the hour when we all looked at each other and said, well, that’s that then.

Out with the pheasants this morning on three hours sleep. #cycling

There are nights that are well and nights that are long. That old tape that keeps playing, hour after hour. Images, words, memories and faces. So much energy, you could just sit there all night thinking. Insomniac wilderness.

Love it. #cycling

Early birds. #writing

The distance.

Just did an introvert walk, you know the sort. Quick diversions to avoid bad weather conversations, dark clothes, head down. It’s too Monday for all of that today.

Just finished writing a chapter. Definitely not a dad read. J is like shocked and grinning, that’s not happening, telling me I need to be careful with her. Think I hit it right. #writing

About to change into my third costume of the day after two Zwift rides and a weight training session this morning. Definitely time for a cuppa. #cycling #fitness

Everything we went through.

Issue 5 of Underbelly Press will be released on the 8th of November! This issue marks another special milestone for us following one year of Underbelly Press, with it being our very first themed edition. A huge thanks to everyone who has submitted, contributed & supported us.

Today definitely has a theme about it. Go to the shop to buy your first Shirley Jackson book, compliment a witch on her eyeliner, drive back on Blue Öyster Cult and then fork lightening strikes.

Head down and in the zone.

So excited to be working with @underbellypress.bsky.social… My latest short story will be published in Issue 5.

The day rolled in with sour milk and screaming birds.

In the shadows. #cycling

She’s on her way. #writing

This period until end of year gives two options. We become shop people or hill people. There are different paces for each and one is kinder albeit with deeper frowns coming your way.

Home during the wilder seasons is so beautiful. This place is where a recent story I wrote ends. #writing

The drift. #scape

Day off. So J’s like, get up, I’ve set you up and you’re going on Zwift in a minute. Ride on. #cycling

The minute and the wave.

The day began at six and ran on four.

Go back, pick it up, then write the hell out of this story. #writing

In your words.

Across Loch Tay

Just spent the afternoon being nibbled by a Golden Retriever puppy with the softest fur and sharpest intellect. She’s gorgeous.

Mood miles.

There is nothing quite like your son ringing you to tell you about his awesome ideas, positive things and just generally sounding so happy.

A day in the life of a therapist... it's amazing what some people have experienced in life (challenges). Remember to be grateful even if it's simple little things because I can assure you some people have been to hell & back

Thermals on, base layer present, leaves down and this road is going to get a whole lot darker very soon. Can’t wait. #cycling

Writing a play fight scene is so cute and cringe, even when well into your thirties. #writing

We have ridden in some amazing places this week, but there is nothing like the hills of home. #cycling

The WIP has just taken a tone that means it can now never be proofread by my dad. #writing

Home after a great few days away. Loved riding down this beast of a tunnel, over a mile of darkness. Unforgettable. #cycling
