I'm feeling so much nostalgia from that list of songs.

✍🏼Winter Simpson @winterandwords.social · 3h

If Rafe from 🌃Miles From Morning was around in our world and time, he'd love 3Teeth's cover of Pumped Up Kicks.

Tobie from 🌄Darwin's Cliff was a nineties teen and Alanis Morissette's Hand In My Pocket remains a firm favourite.

I'm cracking up over Sivas' favourite treat 😄

Rose flavoured Turkish delight is so good!!

Rafe is a bit of a therapy character 😅

✍🏼Winter Simpson @winterandwords.social · 3h

OMG yes. The perk of working in food service is being able to afford to eat as long as you don't mind what you're eating.

Tobie is so unlike any other character I've ever written and she's in a book that's unlike any other book I've ever written. I think the muse gave me this one my mistake.

It feels weird (in a nice way) to be in the head of someone who is genuinely lovely and isn't made of drink, drugs and weapons 😅

I've been getting hungrier with every answer to today's question, but this is the one that got me seriously planning dinner. Ham and cheese croissants 🤤

I love your answer for Bianca! I never even thought of this question in terms of non-food treats.

Rafe from Miles From Morning's favourite treats are liquid - coffee and whiskey ☕🥃

Tobie from Darwin's Cliff (sneaky title drop!!) favourite is her gran's homemade shortbread 🍪

They sound awesome 🥰

He's one of my favourite disaster characters. If there's the option to do something utterly stupid, he'll definitely do it.

I love having him back in my brain as a POV character. It was fun seeing him through Aria's eyes in Name From Nowhere, but I'd missed experiencing his batshit craziness first hand. He's one of those characters who just tells me what to write and I go along with it.

Rafe from 🌃Miles From Morning is fucked up with a capital FU. Yes, that's a gun in his pocket, and no, he's not pleased to see you. He's made of scars, anger, unfortunate circumstances, and questionable decision-making. And he doesn't trust anyone, not even himself.

🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (MC intro)

A run-down looking corridor, grimy and rough, lit with rays of light coming through broken windows. A man with short dark hair stands in the middle weating baggy trousers, a hoodie, and sunglasses. The lighting is shades of pink, blue and purple for cyberpunk vibes.

Yeah, and it's a weird feeling because I don't start posting anything until it's fully edited and complete, so Name From Nowhere was finished as a creative activity in May. There's just something about it being outwardly finished that feels necessary.

Website!! Very excited for you 😊
