Lack of activity on here means more activity elsewhere! I find social media too distracting when I'm writing. Stories and poems are afoot :) #writing

I’m here to celebrate #books, promote my own #writing, and encourage and uplift fellow authors.

Yep, a few months after joining Society of Authors, I had someone (not them) offer to sell me the member list; soon after that, the tsunami began. Most of them attribute the wrong book titles to me.

I have experienced and survived the gorgon's head feeling and managed to tame the beast. It will pass, and calm seas await the unravelling of mixed metaphors...

I found my dream chair in St Conon's Kirk, Argyll. I wish I had made it. Perhaps it will feature in a story. #writerslife #fantasy #carving #writing

Controversial amongst authors - boycott Amazon and all the companies they own.

Geoff King @geoffo.bsky.social · 3d

Oh damn! I didn't know Imdb were owned by Amazon 😕 whom I boycott … but if I'm not a paid member, then surely if I have a few peeks I'm costing them money rather than contributing? 🤑

Finally back online after last Friday's storm took out our phone and internet. A welcome break, but there's a lot of catching up to do.

The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman. A rather tragic tale, but beautifully written.

Always several overlapping projects of varying size. I have to go away from home to be lazy.

My 6-year-old grandson has started collecting bottles. I found an 1850s perfume bottle (no scent) in an antique shop; when I told the proprietor about my grandson, he gave it to me - no charge 🙂

Geoff King @geoffo.bsky.social · 22d

Yes, I love Bonnie's work too 🙂

You're 12 months ahead of me...

Swoon...

I'm sure it's more pleasing to the eye than Yves Klein blue...

Geoff King @geoffo.bsky.social · Sep 21

That's disappointing. I imagined it might be selling cuddly pig toys, or possibly bacon...
