I have a story in this! Hope you'll give edwardian lesbian ghost-hunters solve a short spooky mystery a try!

Tried to describe "they came back wrong" trope to someone who not v literary and they were like "wrong how?" and I was like "well...just wrong...they were them but not them" and we went round like this while I felt increasingly crazy, which I feel like is the plot of a "they came back wrong" story

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

I finished Habours of the Sun today after SPEEDING through the Raksura books in under a week, and wow what a great ride, I love a series so rich and full you truly don't feel you surface from the world, even when you're not actively reading

Had a long flight yesterday and picked up the Books of the Raksure from my long list of "having been meaning to read" and am only annoyed I didn't pick these up earlier because i am obsessed and enjoying it so much!! What a great world and Moon is such a great main character

Yesss brilliant news and so well deserved

"Shield of the Glasslaw" by Isobel Mackenzie swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/shield-of-th...

sent out another story to a market today! My goal is to have 5 out at once, which means I am in a secret race with every editor I sub whoops

A good writing weekend all in all. Made progress on the novel, not in tons of wordcount but a mental breakthrough on this scene I'm editing, sent a story away to a market, have a second story ready for a market that opens march 1st, and working on a third! 💪💪

My Formative Epic Fantasy Series has always been Janny Wurts & Raymond Feists' mistress of the empire books, which are definitely problematic faves in retrospect but nonetheless very formative. I've had the first and third in paperback for ages & have finally managed to get my hands on the second!

Editing and this is the soundtrack. Save me from this torture goth pop. open.spotify.com/album/3YmHgq...

Goal this week is finish editing TWO stories and get them subbed somewhere 💪💪both of these stories have been close to finished for ages and I need to just them over the line

I have been steadily working my way through X-Files and I am fascinated by a procedural where (at least in season 1) the investigators rarely, if ever, solve ANYTHING.

Love when I'm back home and tiktok shows me all the glasgow southside drama. Why is there always new glasgow southside drama? Truly producing impressive levels of drama per square mile

Hexagon is a wonderful magazine and gave a lot of people theor first story home and I'm sorry to see it go but also glad it's ending when it wants! What an achievement!

My current book is too sad to read consistently on my commute so this means I need to cart around a second book, a very dry historical nonfic to read. And then maybe another book for when I don't want dry history...this is becoming a spider to catch a fly situation

A new year's resolution was to go to the theatre more and I'm already winning it because I got a discounted front row seat to the importance of being earnest and it's intermission right now and it is SO GOOD

using january to try and finish some of the books I'd been neglecting. Finished The Wandering Earth, which was impressive & interesting but also did the thing hard scifi does of "Here's 500 words about exactly why this chemical process works also none of the characters behave like any human ever"
