New fear unlocked: reaching for the car charger in the dark and finding it slimy and... squishy 😳

Lockwood x Skulduggery P A demi-reaper hosts a podcast that helps lost souls move on for a price. In return, he takes a small fragment of their souls to feed his growing addiction to life. Now the afterlife has caught wind of the trade, and their hounds want a bite of him. #GhostPit #YA #U #F #Q 👻

I've been so quiet on SM of late. Busy, busy, busy in the world of work and life. But... Writing update: Had some fantastic feedback. Edited accordingly, and I've been brave and sent a new query off today.

MINISTRY OF TIME x NEVER LET ME GO High-masking autistic Emily lives clients’ bad days for them. Her only way out of poverty: lose 5 years working for the ultra-rich.

My mind keeps returning to my MG story about an undiagnosed dyslexic girl. I needed a spark to reopen it & relook at the edits. Then I saw the @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social competition & threw my hat in. www.chickenhousebooks.com/category/blog/ For MG writers, check it out (UK and Ireland only)

I bought a cute pineapple plant, so I am sharing it with you all. Now I need to come up with a name. I'm thinking Pizza 😏 #pineapple

I am currently reading an awesome book. It's always a privilege to read someone's story and lose myself in their world. 🥰

I had an hour to write this afternoon. Could I write??? Nope 😔 But I did re-open an old project and played around a bit. Now to decide if I should make it fantasy or not 🤔 It could go either way

Cute 🥰

Thanks to @lotenauthor.bsky.social for allowing me to write on her blog #guestblogpost www.reloten.com/post/guest-b...

Today, I cut 3000 words to meet a competition word count limit. I can put them back in now, right? RIGHT?!

Something has gone wrong in the world of shoes. The top one looks like something I would stitch together after surviving 20+ yrs in the apocalypse and the bottom one looks like a sci-fi laser gun 👀🫣 Why would anyone buy these? {Shudder}

“Mum, I need some new school shoes. I scuffed mine up playing football.” This is more than a “scuff” {insert eye twitch}

Yes, this is how my cat likes to chill 🤣 #caturday

A little treat in my village. Always admire crafty folk who can make pieces like this 🥰 #VEDay #knitting #crochet

First week at work and I have learned about banana sticker collecting...I have to say I am loving being back in the office again 🥰

It was the first day of my new job today 🥰

I could have been writing, but I spent the afternoon cleaning my car inside and out. My burning thought after this torture... Why do car manufacturers use an interior carpet type that holds dirt, hair etc in a vice-like grip?

Hair oiling - yay or nay? 🤔 #haircare

Missing you @annlittler.bsky.social #cakeandwrite today is delicious clementine cake and a beetroot latte 🥰 I am working on a beta read and dipping into a group project today.

What numpty turns up a week early to start her new job? You guessed it! #Adifferentkindofwalkofshame 🤣🙈

To the pigeons cooing on the roof above my bedroom this morning while I was trying to sleep in 👇🏻

Ate a whole easter egg for lunch. No regrets. 😏
