Tomorrow, I am absolutely going to hunt for my paints. I've such an itch.

@realtoddstashwick.bsky.social I went to a new local art class this afternoon, and we're model-making. It had to be a dragon. 😁

A couple more hours of sleep is going to have to do me. The dog is fussing. 🙄

Not sure whether to go to bed or not. Son will be up in half an hour or so. I *am* tired, but also wired. 😅

To bed! See you in a few hours!

See, I was going to, but then the Starfury news dropped. I can't do three consecutive conventions, sadly.

@ladykeldana.bsky.social I've a smattering of words on the Master monologue, but have been completely distracted by the BBC script open submissions thing. I'm not sure if Todd would be up for playing Space House (lol) but he's very much who I have in mind. 😁

Okay, that hit. I guess I'm doing this! (Also, if it doesn't get picked, I'll have a nice novella serial set up.)

My son was watching the Top Gear with Mick Fleetwood on the other day, with Clarkson going on about the *history* of the band. Me: You know the episode of Brooklyn 99 when Jake's undercover and makes up a song to remember who's sleeping with who? That was Fleetwood Mac. I stand by this comparison.

Do we think there's room for a sci fi show akin to something like Casualty? An updated take on Space 1999/Lost in Space but without the dire circumstances? I'm not sure, but the BBC Writers' Room has an open submissions window and I'm planning a script for it.

And I got two mentions during the live! It's all for the kids, I know, but it did my heart good. 😊

Currently spreadsheeting income and expenditure, finding nuggets of cash to save for Warp 2.

Re last post: I'm so sorry. 😬

post a non-religious image you think of as holy

#Novmemeber day 8 "plot" Firstly 😂🤣😂 There is no plot (only Zuul) So far? 💻⬛️⬛️😱🏃‍♀️🗡🚀🎯😢

London is hella hard for me, but I'm hoping that the various medical things I have lined up will make life easier. Because untamed equines couldn't keep me away. 😊

Lolsob

Dastmalchian posted to Instagram with the caption "peachyfuzz". I commented "🍑🚔" He's just liked it and made me cackle. Nice to know it landed. 😁

We had takeout tonight. I've cut my thumb on one of the foil containers. 🤦‍♀️

No way is WandaVision coming down to Trigger's broom. 😂

Eee!!! Look what the postie brought! I bought the backing tags and the button with my own money, so you see I am investing into the biz myself. It's not all on generous folk. I'm trying to work out how the button is here - I ordered it *yesterday*! #TwoCrowsCrochet #IndieBusiness #DisabledCrafter

Why, by the sweet baby cheeses, would someone post a "crochet stitches you have to try" blog WITHOUT PHOTOS?

This was such a pleasant surprise, uplifting me after a pretty awful day. I've already bought triangle bails so that I can turn resin pieces into jewellery, and mica for colouring the resin. Now I'll assess where the rest will be most effective. #TwoCrowsCrochet #DisabledCrafter #IndieBusiness

Ooh, thank you @campylobacter.bsky.social !!! 😘

MUPPET!!! I bloody love this woman.

Holy CRAP, that was incredible!!! #CelebrityTraitors

"an onion hanging from my radio" He took the stand and gave that statement? Fecking hell. 😂

Aww, night, Shirl. 💔

All set for Sunday (Monday am) @realtoddstashwick.bsky.social 😁

#SFFChat A2: Honestly cannot think of anything. So either I've not read that sort of book, or it wasn't a big enough theme for me to remember.

#SFFChat A1: memory and how it impacts identity are major themes in my current WIP. I have included memory and personal history in past work as well, especially how we can allow others' opinions of us to shape us in an attempt to fit in.

#SFFChat intro: I'm Helen and I write SFF blended with romance One of the first communities I found when I started writing was the SFR Brigade. I rather miss it.

🎯Ko-Fi goal of £100 to help set up Two Crows as a viable business. Funds will go towards buying resin and jewellery supplies. (I've enough yarn to be going on with right now!) #TwoCrowsCrochet #IndieBusiness #DisabledCrafter

💥HORRENDOUS💥night - I've been awake since around 2am due to pain, unable to get comfortable enough for sleep. It's still really, really bad, and my brain is woolly. Going to be a very slow day.

Is... is this made with WordArt? Because it's truly terrible.

Hospital appointment was about my dicky gallbladder. It's agreed to have the thing taken out, which will be Dec/Jan. I should be in less pain once the incisions have settled down. 🙏🤞🕯🐐

#FantasyIndiesNovember Day 5 - Reading Last: Be Our Ghost by Carla Luna Current: Mending Lost Dreams at the Highland Repair Shop by Kiley Dunbar Next: Magic, Maps, and Mischief by David Green

GOOD.

Dastmalchian is in the episode of The Rookie my son is watching and I know he's the bad guy because normal people don't start a butty in the middle. 😂

#FantasyIndiesNovember Day 4 I've been inspired by so many authors over the years. The old masters Tolkien, Adams, and Pratchett. Eddings with the Riven Codex that had me drawing maps and character lists. These days I want to be @jessiemihalik.com or @marthawells.com when I grow up. 😁

Yippee kayay monsterfuckers!

🛍️KO-FI SHOP UPDATE!!!🛍️ I've opened up for international orders! So now non-UKers can add a little whimsical nonsense to their homes! More items will be added soon (I just have to *make* them). #IndieBiz #HandmadeBiz

It's the GBBO final!!! However, I'm out at choir tonight. Genuinely debating watching it the second I get home to avoid spoilers.

But it's gonna take a moment... #Novmemeber Day 2

I'm Helen, and predictive text doesn't work on a laptop. I write about oil-and-water characters who have to work together to save their world/galaxy or defeat the Big Bad. My romances are set against SFF backdrops and I leave the bedroom door wiiide open. #Novmemeber

I've not read these books, or any like them, but starting 12 Monkeys earlier this year was incredibly uncomfortable. The hope was discordant. The scavs a painful revelation. And Deacon was not the outlier I think he was meant to be. Like the phrase "avoid like the plague." Well, we don't, do we.
