I'm reading, the author has a Scottish character & made a very bad attempt at Scots. It's so bad I can't be bothered reading any more 🙉 I feel the other characters regional accents should be attempted too, to be fair. Phonetic spelling London, Newcastle or Brummie accent? Accents fairly represented?

Spotted another great review of Suzanne Craig Whytock's 'Dark Nocturnes.' '... Suzanne blends psychological horror with supernatural mystery in a way that feels seamless and sophisticated, thus creating a uniquely engaging experience for the reader. With each and every story. Time and time again.'

Make something. Do it now. Doesn't matter if it's polished or not. Make something because nobody has ever seen the world the way you do, and nobody will again. Make something because art is simply that which is authentically expressed. Let beauty take care of itself www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

This was as creative as I got this weekend, an A1 size painting for 'pin the tail on Bluey & Bingo' for a toddler party, it lasted 4 minutes, the best game was Hot Potato (the tinies had fun throwing a potato at each other for about half an hour before they got bored)! Hope you had a fun day too!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Very relatable! 🐾🐾😋

Anybody who has read this - genuine thanks. I'd love to see some reviews on amazon, if you would be so kind. Thanks x

I also hope you all understand that people who can’t work and rely on working from home and selling their art still deserve a proper living wage! And if they are forced to sell commissions for 5$ to at least get something that this is exploitation and a systematic failure that needs to be tackled
