Hello found family and internet friends. I wish I you all the loveliest Christmas or break from whatever ails you. Remember, it's not about the gifts, it's about the people and taking time to let them know you care. Just wanted to write something corny but true. Love you all x

Quick service announcement to O2 customers. If you have O2 Switch Up you can get out of your contract TODAY. ONLY TODAY. I just exited mine because of the change from 90 days to 11 months so make sure you look into it as well. You can only do it TONIGHT.

Entrepreneurship is never all it's cracked up to be. Most of your time will be spent fiddling with websites, crawling under tables, and fending off sales calls. Tis the season to be merry though, right?

What a lovely Sunday. It's clear skies here so I hope it's pleasant where you are. Have a lovely day.

I've arrived at that point in life when I wake up and have somehow mortally wounded myself in my sleep, just by sleeping weirdly. Owww

Busily working on my book. Writing #scifi is always interesting because you can go big and make such fascinating universes. Anyone up for a little space horror? I've got you covered.

Some people don't like when your light is too bright because it disturbs the demons inside them.

Walking back through the heath last night with only the very last bits of light wasn't a great idea. I must have stepped ankle deep into mud so it's time for new white trainers. Twice I've been out recently and twice the line suspended right before my station. Hint taken #London

I love living in #London. Multiculturalism is wicked and it just works. Watching all these kids from different backgrounds joke and laugh together after football practise was great. All different backgrounds. Kids learn prejudice from morons with small brains. Nobody is born with it.

Sat writing more of my book(s) for you guys. No spoilers so you get a very crap sticker on what was already a dodgy photo. Do wish coffee shop tables were a little more comfortable though 🤌

Up early after a late night. Ouch 🫤

Hello all. Welcome to the weekend and have a lovely one. Mine will be writing bits of my book, playing Stellaris, and that's about it (perhaps a haircut). What about you guys?

It's grey and wet in London today. There is your weather report you didn't ask for 😊

Has anyone else being playing #Pokemon AZ? I need to talk about it. I like all the new systems but wish the city didn't look so drab and basic. I want them to make a new game after this that has the same stuff, and more, but with variety in the world. Thoughts fellow #gamers #Nintendo

I don't have the word limit here to write what I need so I put it in the photo. I lost my friend today and wanted to share what they meant to me. Please give this a read and if you're a stronger person than me, go and see your friend. Today is a day of tears. Too many of them. Bye Brian x

20 years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. Take more risks.

Think of me today, won't you? I'm in the #editing phase and I need all the encouragement I can get! Sometimes you just have to stick at it I suppose and get it done. Comments appreciated on the article for those with advice #scifi #writer #seeks #help 💀

I hope that my friends and family that have either on Jamaica are ok and safe as they can be. That storm looks horrific so please get yourselt to shelter 🫤

Another year older.

Don't know about the rest of you but today is going to be a day of rest and relaxation - gaming, food, and sleeping when needed. Bored of whatever this cold thing is that won't shift 😐

Fuck everyone who told you your vision was too big. It's not. You can do more.

The older I get, the more I realise it’s okay to live a life others don’t understand.

Never sacrifice internal peace for external bullshit.

Also lost my temper with #Windows today (for the 1,000th time) and am decrypting the drive on my laptop to prepare it for #Ubuntu. If I have to see one more nag screen or attempt to pull me deeper into their 'ecosystem' I will scream. No, I don't want to subscribe to more services. Save me #Linux

I've been clearing out the bookshelves and getting rid of a bunch of older vocation books and replacing them with fiction. Nothing sparks joy more than a well-stocked library. In related news I'm editing my first #scifi book of my Nostara Series. Out 2026. What a #productive #day #reading #books

Good morning everyone. Bringing you the classics of Amber to get you started.

Hey book readers. Spread this far and wide. Do you prefer #scifi or #fantasy? I'm writing both but want to know what gets more eyeballs.

As a straight man, do you question why most women reject the unwanted advances of random men? Install Grindr. Go see for yourself how guys approach you. Either you get an education of how inappropriate they can be, or you get taught a lesson as to why you get ignored. #leavewomenalone

Bit wet out 😒

Picked up a bunch of new books that were on sale so there's half a bookshelf to read when I get home. My kind of shopping 😀

This weekend's FREE Kindle book is psychological thriller Thorn in the Flesh. #freebook Thorn in the Flesh FREE book: myBook.to/ThornBrooke The paperback is also available: myBook.to/ThornBrookePB *Thorn in the Flesh was longlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Awards 2006.*

One big win is built on a mountain of losses. One big yes is built on a mountain of no's. One big success is built on a mountain of failures. Start climbing.

This is how dystopian we've got now. AI tools to apply to jobs that are being filtered and sorted by AI, to try and get the jobs that grey idiots in suits aren't trying to eliminate by giving it to an AI to do. We really did fuck this one up guys.

The Grand Market of Maravin, one of the locations in my first book, 'Whispers in the Magic.' This is the first book in my series 'The Chronicles of Mana.' #fantasy #writer

I love writing. I hate editing. There, I said it. Why can't the format just look tidy when I say it should instead of avant-garde and experimental 😅

Morning all. Sore nose and face here so yay for me and whatever this is I've got, but I'll be writing my books in bed and maybe playing a little Pokémon here and there. What are you all doing? Oh. I might share first chapters today for all the books I'm writing. I'll make sure to link them to you.

Still flawed Still learning Still growing Still doubting the plan Still second guessing Still making mistakes Still dealing with the uncomfortable

If you have no idea what to write, write to your former self.

Happy Wednesday everyone. You made it half way through the week and now we get rewarded with rolling downhill to the weekend.

I visited my hometown recently, and decided it was time I sent it a letter. Feel free to give it a read, perhaps it sounds familiar if you also moved from the provinces long ago #fiction #WritersCommunity

The timing never seems right but it always is

I'm going to start a #podcast to talk about writing, following your aspirations, and tackling the inner voice that talks you down. No doubt I'll throw the link around the place on here so you can listen to it. Should be fun! (Yes, I know I'm late to the party. Apple always is and look at them 👀)

Never knew so many of you cared. Hello new friends and old ones. Today's success is a simple one. My domain is properly working with my Substack.

Hey all you people doing things today. How goes it?

Your progress is slower than some. Your progress is faster than some. Don't focus on others. Focus on you. Your progress will accelerate if you do...

Good morning everyone.

Being overwhelmed and exhausted has become all too common these days. This is because the world isn’t set up to protect people’s mental health. You should never feel guilty for taking the time to centre yourself and take care of your own emotions.

Saw an incorrect statement on social media. Thought about correcting it. Visualized the stupid argument that would ensue. Left it alone.

Broken Bones is a creative non-fiction piece I wrote during my MA that may also become part of a larger piece of work. It may be a tough read for some who have ever been the victim of a sexual assault #shortstory #fiction #writerscommunity
