Right, that's letters to the cabinet office, the home office and my MP about the EHRC debacle. Keep pushing, keep writing, keep talking about this - don't let those who would say only some of us can be free win, don't let them divide us.

I use the structure suggested by the idea. That also goes for choosing genre. And form. And sometimes none of these things become clear until I try to get the thing down on paper. If it doesn’t sit right, I look at the emergent structure, analyse and refine/tear down as necessary.

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

Keeping up with Drawtober, my latest #art was for the prompt ‘mushroom fairy’, and tbh I’m pretty proud of this one! It’s my first time drawing mushrooms and fungi, and it took absolutely forever…

"People like Neville represent a cultural and political threat, because the right wants them to think what they think - and very often they don’t."

Why Gary Neville's views on British flags made him a target for Farage

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Been out and proud for 30 years now. Won't say it's always been easy, but I live my life on my own terms.

Today I'm thinking of those who face challenges for being who they are. And fighting for a better world. 🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍⚧️

The Shapeshifter's Daughter is an Orkney-set, modern-day reimagining of the Norse tale of Hel - the Queen of the Underworld that was banished by Odin.

The Stromness Library plays an important role in the book, so we are delighted to host this event in Stromness. ❤️

Thank you to the kind soul who compiled all the late 80s Nescafé Gold Blend ads. Can’t stop thinking of them as Rupert Giles’ backstory. Absolutely riveting.
