My brain: Whatever you do, don’t overfill the ink pot. My hand-eye coordination: Hold my beer.

Peeked into BlueSky over Sunday morning coffee to find @sm2n.bsky.social and @omaniblog.bsky.social are doing something called #MayPodPoMo. It’s like #AudioMo has come early, plus we still get AudioMo too… I hope…

Balance has been restored to the galaxies. Thank you @keithdunn.bsky.social for making it possible for us to follow along with this year's #bm100

Proof, if any where needed, that a sense of humour is required to even think about entering #bm100. Made me laugh out loud.

And the #bm100 has a fearsome reputation of striking people out.

Have the odds shifted in favour of the course? #bm100

This brought tears to my eyes.

It’s on @omaniblog.bsky.social

I’m suspecting the #BM100 was delayed so @keithdunn.bsky.social could watch Newcastle win a cup.

While we wait, there is a very enjoyable documentary about last year’s #BM100. It includes that moment between Jared, Gary and Jasmine. Still brings a tear to my eye. youtu.be/uyX4GRm7NeY?...

What a time to be alive! 🎄 Christmas 🎄 The one time of year you can enthusiastically cram your biscuit hatch full of food and drink without a glimmer of guilt. If you’d like to keep it that way, don’t read this: thegastronomer.net/gazette/0053...

Drat… Nevertheless, huge congratulations to those who did make the longlist and best wishes for the next phase of the award. Also thank you to @bathnovelaward.co.uk for providing me with a deadline that made me actually get a story written 🙏. #BCNA2024

Gorgeous animation by Tessa Moult-Milewska. Thank you to @documental.ly for the tip off in his weekly newsletter. vimeo.com/1035949912

Literally everybody who follows me here on Bluesky is writing a book at the moment. How will they all end?

Best make a start… #firstpost #seewhatididthere
