I did it! After much internal debate, I finally did it. And I'm what they call "published" ☺️

You can get "Divided" on many outlets ... Kindle, Google Play Books, Kobo ... and many, many others.

Well, I've transferred over to Wavemaker 4, and trying to get used to the new functionality.

But moreover, I've added words to my story.

Feeling VERY creative today.

Not only have I completed the 1st draft for my entry to a flash fiction contest, I wrote about the process on my blog too.

A few weeks ago, I decided to revive my old blog.

I used to post quite regularly, but I started to get lazy. This time around I am going to try and keep it up. To help me keep a schedule I've decided, at least for now to post fortnightly.

You can find it at blog.deaf-duck.uk

I write for readers, wild eyed dreamers, space cowboys, wine-drinking book hoarders, stargazers, cosmic poets, optimists, library haunters, tea sippers, bounty hunters, wormhole pilots, fireside story addicts, time travellers, hooligan scientists, alien engineers, and sassy sentient starships.

It's my birthday month, and I have a great idea for a gift for you: my book, Divided. 📖
It's about a man who can see ghosts after an accident. If you missed it, now's your chance!
Get it on Kindle, Kobo, Apple, and Google.

I've been trawling through my back catalogue lately and found a short story (it's only around 800 words) and I decided to put that onto my blog for everyone to read. It will be on the blog tomorrow morning (UK) as a special addition.

I revived my old blog. A new name. A new direction.

Why? SM posts are limited. It's only seen by users on that network. So, I'm spreading out.

My 1st blog is a little thing about my novella now on every ebook retailer I can find...

Late night writing, but I'm shattered. I actually fell asleep whilst adding words.

But I added some.

It's been a few days since I've been able to write, but today I've added words.

So, my creative urges have been flowing today and I have a choice or three. I am not sure ... but I am leaning towards the one with white text.

Added some words ... been a few days of not being able to write (mentally and physically blocked). I f&*$ing hate CRPS ... but hey ho ... it's the old British adage of "Keep Calm and Carry On"

Starting on Saturday, I thought I would set a 50% discount on my book, Divided, for a little while.
You can see this price drop on many sites ... 😊

The word count (and the weird count) for my new story is increasing 😁

I reached the Shortlist, won one of the judging rounds and had an Ambassador's Pick! So, I feel like I won anyway 😌

The winner and runners-up have been announced today for the Open Novella Contest.

Unfortunately, I didn't win. I didn't expect to. I'm disappointed, obvs, but I'm good with how I did this year. Howver, this has been my best so far.

Um ... what?

Geoff Harrison 🇬🇧 @gharrisonauthor.bsky.social · Jun 10

That definitely sounds like a great starter to a thriller mystery. 🙂

Geoff Harrison 🇬🇧 @gharrisonauthor.bsky.social · Jun 2

Thank you 😊
