Long time since I enjoyed a football match this much. Well done Scotland. #ScotVDen

Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters. The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies—known as the kindly ones—against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.

This is so close to funding already, I'm losing my mind 🙉

Hello good people of BlueSky, I've been very quiet recently. New job looming, so normal tidying up and boxing off before I leave is taking up my attention and time. And I've also downloaded my biggest writing nemesis - Football Manager. This would wreck my writing progress. However... 1/3 🧵

The prize for today's challenge is the entire Souls' Abyss series generously donated by @scgowland.bsky.social!

Important to remember!

And what do we have? Wankers painting roundabouts...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Tron Legacy = a film I love. Tron Arse = an AWFUL mess of a film with Jared Leto self imposed as Digital Jesus. Shockingly bad.

The world is going in two wildly different directions isn't it? I know which side of history I'll be on.

The copy edits are in! And yes, I know I've probably made that Richard Curtis joke already, but what do you want? It's early. Here's me with a gravelly voice with the update... youtube.com/shorts/WRzRv...

My life is weird & I dog sit sometimes. And I firmly believe the outdoors, a dog, a crisp autumn morning and good music (Biffy Clyro) is one of the best combos in the world. Hope you have fun today too...

I'm really writing again. Wrote 1800 words today of probably the best stuff I've ever produced. It feels good. I'd kind of forgotten the feeling..

Never seen it before and A Knight's Tale is excellent.

Not to shabby this place. Shame about the result.

Good morning world. Outdoors, Bruce Springsteen and some company = a good start to the day..

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I have a free day... Errands then writing I think.

Join me LIVE with @pernillehughes.bsky.social, author of A COPENHAGEN SNOWMANCE, which is here to herald in Christmas. Yes, I said the C-word! What of it? Thursday 9th October, 8pm BST Facebook: fb.me/e/3zhYHqYHw Youtube: www.youtube.com/live/P6W74xA...

Back at it #6amwritingclub Full review of the 8482 words written so far and it's good. Rise of The Witch Queen continues... #booksky #newbook

I am a man of a certain age, I will never EVER succumb to the fashion for short, tight smart trousers with no socks. It just look stupid.

What a beautifully ☀️ Marketing Monday 😊 Over to you authors, shout about whatever you want & as much as you want AS LONG AS IT’S ON THIS THREAD. If it isn’t book related, it will be deleted & this post is across all my SM, so please follow me there too. #MarketingMonday #BookSky💙📚

Writing has not been a priority for most of this year. But relistening to 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by VE Schwab is having a profound affect on me. It's now firmly my favourite book ever and is making me yearn to write again. Next week I will restart.. #inspiration

Today. I'm feeling good.

I've been too quiet and introspective recently. Time to get back in the game...

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Good morning. The choices you make today may affect your future or the future of those around you. Choose love, choose to spread a little joy.

I love Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I particularly love Capt Pike. My favourite Star Trek after TNG.

Today has been a good day...

Coddiwomple...

If I could give my younger self one piece of writing advice it would be: Stop overthinking and start writing. Get the damn story down on paper, and you can worry about everything else later.

New Red Sonja...

I have a full week off. Some interesting things on the horizon. Time to have fun, do some cramming and get some writing done too. By the end of this week everything could have changed to complete a full life set in 2025. Bring it on...

Fantastic Four: First Steps is rather good. Nice departure from the usual universe and more fun than some the recent Marvel stuff. The end credit scene is the most exciting bit of all...😶

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

I really wanted to like The Materialists more. The premise is good, the themes interesting, the cast great, but it just didn't grab my heart. A shame...

I love bookmail... Looking forward to this @jennifertaylorgray.bsky.social
