I remember reading about how the themes of movies and shows today are less romance-based and more about the self and coping with trauma... And Wayward is the perfect example. #childhoodtrauma #cptsd #WriteSky #storytelling

A small look into the main setting of my novel The Door Between No Walls - the ethereal Night Market. A place to connect with the past you may not be done with... 📚💙 #WIPSnips #Author #WriterSky #Booksky

We can eat in front of the TV, why can't she? --my partner ❤️😅🐕 #greatpyrenees #dogsky #zolarbear @dogs.bsky.social

Greatly enjoyed Ng's Our Missing Hearts. So did Mr Binx. Except he said it needs salt 😒 #BookSky 💙📕📚💙 #FinishedReading #BunnySky #rescuerabbit #bunny

📚💙 One of my favourites as a kid. 📚💙 Had no idea swans can be evil as geese until much later🤣

💙📕 I hope the bibliophile community doesn't judge me for only just now discovering Dean Koontz. Better late than never? #CurrentlyReading #BookSky #ticktock

*Turns on news* ...NOPE. 💙📚 To escapism!!! 🍻💙

Word echoes = one of my biggest writing pet peeves. It's a good mark of something not well-edited. #WritingAdvice #GoodVsBad #BookSky #LookingAtYouFourthWing

Here’s your gentle reminder: 👉Your worth is not defined by book deals, sales numbers, or TikTok engagement. If you’re showing up, learning, and writing honestly…you’re already doing the brave thing. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

💙📚Every now and then you stumble on a book you know is just the author giving humanity a huge slap upside the head and saying "PAY ATTENTION" and this time it's Bewilderment by Richard Powers #BookSky #FinishedReading #Neurodivergent #Iwilljustbeoverherecrying

Shows like "Four Seasons" are why us anxiety-ridden need our comfort shows. #neurospicy #comfortshow #storytelling

I'm no artist, I just enjoy dabbling. Here's a digital piece I did for my novel; a scene from The Night Market, featuring two furry characters (the 2nd is hiding!) #TheNightMarket #AmQuerying #magicalrealism #literaryfiction

Liked Project Hail Mary? You might like Calculating God. I'm non-religious and science-minded. Agnostic? Whatever, doesn't matter. I enjoyed this book tremendously. Thought-provoking. A+ random used book sale find! #FinishedReading #SecondhandStories #BookRec #VeryThinky

This is a cover mock-up I did for my novel a couple years ago. Just playin'... Testing out some new Photoshop skills. It's not the same novel now as it was then; it's so much more. #thenightmarket #thedoorbetweennowalls #writesky #amquerying #magicalrealism #butreallyrealstufftoo

I finished my manuscript today, meaning more editing would be an attempt at perfectionism. That does no one any good because perfection doesn't exist. But after wrangling this thing for 5 years, I'm happy 😊 #thenightmarket #newadultfiction #magicalrealism #writelife #holycrapitsfinished

"Magic implies something unnatural. There's nothing more natural than this in the universe." This was a line that randomly popped in my head one day, well over a decade ago. I knew I'd put it in a book one day and here we are! #manuscript #amfinished #thenightmarket #writelife #magicalrealism
