Hey #adhd friends, some advice sought. I’m on a local community committee and will soon be taking on the secretary’s role. This means minuting meetings, which I haven’t done for nearly 20 years. I was also rubbish at it, because ADHD brain. Does anyone have any ADHD-friendly minute taking tips?

I’ve got to go to the mainland in two weeks time for mesh repair surgery on an umbilical hernia.

Any friends that have had this procedure done, when they say “no heavy lifting” for X amount of time how heavy are they talking? Picking up my toddler heavy, or lugging around sacks of cement heavy?

If you want to write to your MP about the government's shameful enthusiasm for disastrous and damaging software over livelihoods, here's an option for you. I may have had a rant ahead of the form letter offered:

My friend Julian has set the Barr high with his latest fantastical offering, World Breaker!

(Sorry, the pun was there for making.)

A fast-paced high fantasy reimagining of truly Grimm fairy tales, for fans of John Gwynne, R.A. Salvatore, and Andrzej Sapkowski.

RJ’s books are wonderful. If you like fantasy then check them out, if you haven’t already.
It is time for a PROPER pinned tweet with a list of books in reverse order of publication and a little bit of info about each series. Buckle up buckos, here we go.

(I may even correct typos in it, but probably not, Life's too short, right?)

Hello and Happy New Year to you all! I hope 2025 is kicking off well for you, and if not then things can hopefully only get better.

I thought I’d introduce myself for any newer followers. I’m Geoff, writing as G.M. White, I’m an indie author and stay-at-home dad.

Is cozy horror a thing as a genre? Asking for a friend who writes books set in the 1920s which are a cross between funny fantasy and folk horror. Figuring out where books sit in sub genres can be bloomin’ hard…

I'm currently starting the process of gathering authors for the next in the Law Series along with @inkbornblade.bsky.social and @gmwhitewrites.bsky.social

Last year was 'The Law of Consequences'. This year will see 'The Law of Mischief'. It's very exciting and due out in July. #newbook #booksky
The Law of Consequences
Every action has a consequence, some good, some less so, others of pure darkness… Step into a fantastical world where every choice reverberates with magic, shaping destinies in wondrous and terrify…

I have written to my MP. This seems anathema to a labour government - to explicitly deny labour compensation in favour of capital… baffling, damaging and urgent

For #indieadvent day 5, I give you The Swordsman's Lament, by @gmwhitewrites.bsky.social - a well-planned whodunnit with some good twists and turns. It's only a short book for a fantasy, but it's an entertaining start to the series.
