Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025 no matter how small 💙📚 I published my Medusa retelling 🩷💪🏻 I survived my day job being cut and having to change roles to something completely new ❤️💊 I got my ADHD diagnosis, and am working to find the right meds, even though it’s tough

I spot a book with two of my short stories in 💙📚👀 Welcome to Simmins is a unique collaborative anthology full of spooky festive horror stories. My stories feature the local doctor trying to help solve the latest murders in town, and a gang of teenagers getting caught out by Krampus 👀

#MGMasonRocked Every time I ate scones, I would send a photo to Matt to tease him for doing it the improper way. When my sister and I last shared a scone I sent him a photo because they ALSO do it incorrectly. He would be chuckling at the ongoing row taking place in our family group chat now.

Happy Winter Solstice ❄️ 💙 It’s one of my favourite days of the year, because it means the sunlight is finally coming back 🥺🥺🥺🥺

The new Expedition 33 content is super cute and the boss is surprisingly tough 😨😨 It’s been nice to take a break from the irl madness and get back into this beautiful game.

#MGMasonRocked I feel blessed to have been able to join Matt’s funeral online this morning. The service was beautiful, and perfect for Matt in every way. How fitting that this card has been on display next to me throughout. Matt found his people, and we found him, and we miss him immeasurably 💙

Why have a designer a cover for a poetry collection I haven’t even written yet? 😅😅

Whether you’re a reader, a writer, someone who is into politics or science, or just someone who regularly gets dubious “facts” and words of wisdom thrown their way, I highly recommend the If Books Could Kill podcast.

Because I’m unhinged, last night I dreamt I was playing a TTRPG with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social and I did something really stupid, and I was SO embarrassed that I did it in front of Brennan that I spiralled and was saying things like “I AM smart, I promise! I’ve got a PhD and everything!” 💀😭

I’ve been in pieces all day. Matt was a great friend, a shining light in the online writing community, and loved by many of us. Matt was also a big advocate for Bluesky, particularly the Horror Writers Chat, which he Invested a lot of energy in until his diagnosis. He will be dearly missed 💙

Life is so unbelievably short. Focus your time on the people that matter, and never stop telling them you love them, because you might have less time with them than you think.

I haven’t been promoting my sapphic Medusa enough 🥺 There aren’t many reviews yet, but they’re all 5⭐ and everyone seems to love the book, so I’d love for it to reach more readers 💙📚👀 If you like Greek mythology and you’re in the mood for a good cry, please consider giving it a shot! 🫶🏻 🌈📚 🔗 below

I’ve made a couple of big changes in the plot of my dystopian WIP that I think will make it better, but now half of what’s already written needs to be deleted or substantially changed, and I can’t figure out what to do next. Maybe I need to switch to a new project and let it percolate for a while.

I don’t know if I’ve been winning or losing at ADHD today. I’ve got a lot done, but it’s been lots of bits of things 😅 Considering I barely slept last night, I’ll take it 🤷‍♀️

I LOVED this spooky short story of Matt’s. Get in the gothic mood with this one 💙📚

I was awake half the night spiralling about whether to change thr plot of my WIP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

I actually got into revising my dystopian WIP so much I had to make myself stop when I realised it was 9:30pm. I think I’m finally sorting this dumpster fire out 😅😅

I haven’t written for months, because I’ve been focused on the promotion of my sapphic Medusa retelling, which came out last month. I wrote around 1500 words of my vampire short story today 😍 I only stopped because I’m getting tired. The words were still flowing 💙📚 🌈📚

I was checking through the Amazon page of OF SERPENTS AND SORROWS and was DELIGHTED to see this wonderful new 5 star review 🥺😍😍 Reviews can really make or break it for us small-time authors, so a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has reviewed the book so far, or plans to in the future 🥰🥰

I know I need to work on nailing marketing for my existing books because, although they’re rated well, they’re not finding readers. BUT I also have other books I want to finish / start writing, and a day job to maintain, sooooooo, yeah… It’s a lot 😅😅🙈

The burnout feels like it might finally be lifting. Hopefully I’ll be able to write again soon 🤞🏻

I’m here, I’m just riddled with anxiety and medication side effects and on the verge of burnout ✌🏻 I’m grateful people are reading my new book, but I don’t have the spoons to promote it right now 🫶🏻
