At the archery club 🎯 today about to do a Frostbite 🥶 round. It would be more appropriate to the name if it was actually cold lmao 😂

#AmWriting progress: Added 830 words to Legacy of the Gods today, continuing the scene from last time. Though, now I'm back in the major POV. I'm so close to 110,000 it's annoying.

I feel bad leaving you guys hanging for so long though, so have a funny #snippet. 🤪

New bookish mail 💌 📚

I recently received this really cool set of bookmarks and art cards from @jendiagammon.bsky.social related to the Amethyst Lantern series, which I have really enjoyed.

Thanks so much for sending these! 💙📚

Halloween may be over, but the spooky sales are still going. The God Sun is still just 99p everywhere until the end of Tuesday.

Today is KDP reset day. Buy my books so I won't have to look at all those nasty zeroes 🙏🏻

#AmWriting progress: 572 words added to Legacy of the Gods. I'm at the start of Chapter 25, and my outline seems too vague. If I followed it slavishly, it would be far too short.

First off, pantsing.
And then Let there be dung.

106,850 words total.

My #Halloween plans: The kids have a party to go to, so after that we'll get a takeaway, and then I'm gonna play some Luigi's Mansion since it dropped onto the NSO GameCube app.

Might listen to some Ghost, too. I'm already correctly apparelled. It's the night of the witch, tonight.

I have this. I've used it as a reference book more times than I can count. It's got a lot of great stuff in it that was really helpful for me early on being self-taught.

I am knackered. Spent the whole day driving home from Scunthorpe. We stopped at Sir Isaac Newton's house at Woolsthorpe Manor on the way home.

Took a photo of a tree, saw a hologram of an apple, and blinded Little Miss 7 with science 🌈

Thanks Rebecca!

After warning its makers of the return of a long-forgotten foe, an ancient satellite consciousness embarks on a galactic adventure when it is downloaded by the plucky crew of the imperial flagship.

Took the kids to Normanby Hall's Halloween fayre today since we're up near Scunthorpe for the weekend. They had a reptiles, spiders, and mini beasts presentation there.

Little Miss 7 really loved handling the Chilean rose tarantula 🕷️ And Mr 10 enjoyed holding the California rat snake 🐍

Afternoon Womble! I just finished The Black Hole yesterday. Surprised that it ended somewhat differently to the movie. Much more esoteric.

Now I've begun Children of Memory.

I know it's only Thursday but how about a new #scifi book for the weekend?

I've got your space operas, your space thrillers, your space horrors... Space enough to swing a cat, even.

Take your pick. Start a new adventure.
