I have been interviewed! 👀📚 Want to find out more about my writing process and my sapphic Medusa retelling that came out this year? GO GO GO! 💙📚🌈

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 😅😅

Happy Halloween 🎃 🧡 I am low on spoons so will be having a cozy one ✌🏻

Struggling to get into the Halloween vibe which makes me sad because I usually love Halloween.

My new tattoo has reached the itchy stage and I am in HELL

It’s been a very busy weekend of getting my tattooed and playing DnD and I feel rejuvenated 🫶🏻🥰 (and in pain 😅)

The Mummy (1999) is on TV, so of course all other plans for the afternoon are cancelled.

Today is all about painting DnD minis and watching Yu-Gi-Oh ✌🏻🥰

Why "Fimbulvinter's Fires" is my favorite of all my stories: - it was a planster project with mostly discovery writing - its 1st person present gives a rawness new for me - genre blending to the extreme - I made conlang for it! - the ending makes me cry EVERY! TIME! 🩸📚🪐📚💙📚🌈🚀💫💜😱 amweald.com/fires

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 see a few people asking for autumn / fall reads, so I thought it apt to remind you all about Once Upon an Autumn, a fantastic collection of autumnal folk and fairy tales 🍂 My short story is all about an orphan girl who stumbles into a fairy ring and finds herself in a magical fungal network 👀 🍄

Wishing everyone a safe March Against Fascism today. The far-right are always quick to incite violence, so please look after each other, stay hydrated, protect those more vulnerable than yourself, and remember your rights. And thank you for standing up for what’s right 🩷

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 🫶🏻
