Check out this fantastic lichen!

I’m continuously amazed at how weird things can be—this planet is no exception.

This encapsulates my day (and it’s good to have a calm day)

Last night, the rains stopped long enough that I managed to get out and look at the holiday orbs.

Stumbled upon this site today and it’s a delight.

The cat I don’t own is looking wistfully out the window. #caturday

This is how my efforts of wildlife photography turn out more often than not.

My mid month writing up date and more on the cat i don’t own. #amwriting

Finished making my slightly weird jacket. It’s made out of scraps and gives me 70s vibes every time I look at it. #sewing

Went for a hike and spotted these: #fungi

Every year I sneak off to a place with this vibe. I love this sort of forest

My supervisor is getting bored watching my at my desk.

Did a quick sketch at lunch…

I thought I’d get some knitting done—was wrong.

Anyone seen the 1959 Journey to the Centre of the Earth? I saw it as a kid and it’s stuck with me. My latest story is heavily inspired by it—and running now. #scifi #freefiction

I have a story idea that keeps popping into my head—a Minotaur who wanders his labyrinth winding up all the string and wondering where it came from.

In today's update, rayguns galore! Plus borbs and a brief mention of my adventures in Linux. open.substack.com/pub/reneastl...

That’s one great wave

A writing up date and a couple of cool things. #amwriting

One of my books made a list!

I painted this some time ago, and stumbled upon it today and realize I actually like it. I might try painting people again. #watercolor

A secret expedition. A geode filled with mysteries. And a scientist who refuses to look away. Forest of Shards is an adventure novella being serialized now. #scifi #sciencefiction #freefiction

The remade versions of this woman's clothes are fascinating (we can make amazing things by hand).

Currently, I’m trapped.

Here's a great opportunity to win a load of books #bookgiveaway #bookcontest

This is perfect!

This is perfect

I’ve made it through what felt like an infinite week at my day job—now it’s a long weekend.

This looks fantastic--and might be on my agenda for the weekend (if rain keeps me inside). #SoloRPG

Stumbled upon this article this morning and it's great to know that one of my heroes had such a great sense of humour.

Today felt like too much Monday

This one came to hang out with us last night (note: I don’t own a cat)

Latest newsletter where I talk about my work in progress (a time travel story) and make a book recommendation. #amwriting

Managed 1400 words on my WIP after work today—I consider that a win. #amwriting

A perfect moody night

Important info

I keep getting calls from a number my call display identifies as ‘Important Number’ —I’ll pass on answering

My current WIP has an abandoned air tower in it—so I procrastinated by painting it. #watercolor
