It's a sad state of affairs when I find a new band I like, who are relatively new themselves, and I have to ask: Are they real or AI?

Regular reminder that if a writer uses AI for their book cover, people will assume they use it to write as well, and said writer doesn’t really have a leg to stand on in terms of argument.

When a child goes missing, accusing fingers fall on Janet, the school weirdo, and her mother Alex doesn't believe the accusations and is desperate to protect Janet. But Alex doesn't know who Janet really is. THE ONES WE FEAR, publishes NEXT WEEK

I can't decide if Sylvia loves or hates baskets. Here she is destroying one whilst draped in the remains of the previous.

This is incredible! What next? A computer that can do maths faster than a person? A machine that can make products faster? Life is about to change forever!

I don't know what annoys me about UK tax season more: - how unnecessarily difficult it is to file - how my calculation is completely wrong and they think I owe twice what I actually do - that what little tax I do owe will be used to blow up innocent people in Gaza and Iran and everywhere else

Disappointing 1-1 with Birmingham to make it 4 wins in our last 15 games. If Hull make it to the playoffs it'll be by sheer dumb luck. Still, the first time I've seen Hull score a goal in person since 2022 - lots of 0-0 draws and 0-1 and 0-2 defeats in my last many visits.

My horror novel comes out in 11 days. Cool.

Literature festivals should have an Introducing stage like music festivals do.

It's April, which means The Ones We Fear is published this month! A tale of witchcraft, feminism, and everyday monsters, TOWF is “character-led horror that leaves you feeling unsettled long after the final page.” Coming 28 April from @srlpublishing.bsky.social. srlpublishing.co.uk/product/the-...

Looking forward to this!

So brilliant I wrote brilliant twice. Bloody brilliant.

I'm reading The Girls and even though it's the third or fourth or fifth time I'm still blown away by how brilliant it is. It captures that certain dreamy California vibe in a way no other book I've read does. The atmosphere drips from the pages and oozes from every word. It's brilliant.

4 ratings, all 4 stars! Check out this book on Goodreads: The Ones We Fear www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Just finished reading South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami. I always find reading Murakami books tough because he's a wonderful writer with an incredible imagination, but he also fucking hates women.

Fucking right.

If you're still using Substack this is what you're supporting fyi.

Got another post doing good numbers (for me) and this time I caught the typo before it took off.

Writing a book: this is amazing, I have so many ideas and characters and plot points and themes, I cannot be stopped. Writing a synopsis: I have no memory of writing a single one of these words and thus cannot summarise them at all.

Conversations with Friends confirming what Normal People suggested: Sally Rooney books are incredible books and terribly boring TV shows.

I love writing, I do, but having finished draft one of my WIP yesterday I'm thrilled not to be writing today. On the couch under a blanket alternating between reading Fight Club and watching Conversations with Friends.

Watching The Blair Witch Project, the OG. Absolutely legendary film. Masterpiece from start to finish. And still terrifying 27 years and a million watches later.

It's over. It's done. 60,270 words in 9 days. I am empty. I am exorcised. I am still alive. Barely.

Hit 50,000 words on my WIP last night. 2 chapters left of 5,000 words each and I'm done. One tonight and one tomorrow. That'll make it 60,000 words in 9 days. And I will be spent.

Capitalism - and therefore absolutely everything wrong with the world - summed up perfectly in 11 seconds. "Millions of people may be about to die; here's how to profit from it."

Got a post doing good numbers (for me) and obviously there's a typo in it.

If you are still on Twitter, you’re also part of the problem.

Ending the long weekend having written 35,000 words. In 4 days. It had been a catharsis. I'm not saying this book is a roman-à-clef, but it absolutely is. 25,000 words to go; this book may never even be published, but it is freeing me.

Man, you ever think how lucky we are to have BOOKS? And how no matter how fast we read or how long we live, we will never run out of fantastic books to read? What a life

I showed this to my wife and she laughed so hard I'm a little offended.
