Emofest at Manchester Academy. Full circle. One of our first dates, too many years to remember, was to see the first iteration of Panic! At The Disco. Good times.

Today will be a writing day. And, of course, trying some more quality Croatian wine - which may help the writing process 😀 🙂

Dubrovnik. Very nice sparkling Croatian rose with a little snack. I am very much enjoying the wine here.

When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?

On 2nd attempt, scored tickets for My Chemical Romance in London. Roll on July 2026

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

I’m in Leeds with Baton of Hope, campaigning to raise awareness of suicide and prevent further deaths.

I’m walking to promote Alice’s story and the particular risks facing trans people.

I haven’t been fundraising but Peter has. If you’ve any spare pennies…

Dear Home Bargains, why? Why? Halloween decorations on one side of the store. On the other side - Christmas decorations. Seriously, what the actual fuck. It's still August!

On my way back to Manchester. Currently at Euston station. I'm so glad I don't live in London anymore. Pleasant weekend, quite a lot of wine, and I have managed to write a 5k story, which is fairly creepy. Now, I just need to decide what the hell to do with it! 😄

I'm heading off for another weekend away. Brighton this time. Plenty of writing time on the trains, which will be nice.

My breakfast at Carlucchios Manchester Piccadilly Station. Yes, it's early for a Bellini, but I need that to cope with over 2 hours on Avanti.

Prestwich Pride cocktail created for me at Panama Hattys in Prestwich. My favourite writing bar. Vodka raspberry liquor, water melon, and guava. It's not as sweet as it sounds. Next stop - writing. Should be interesting!

Goodnight from Evie Strand, not sure why she is so disappointed to discover a club called Dracula’s Castle is monstrous for all the wrong reasons. Goodnight from Peggy Croxton, wondering if there’s a hidden numerology behind the games at the Egyptian Bingo Hall. Goodnight from Hookland.

I've been to Indie Pride Con in Manchester today. It was great to meet so many interesting authors and discover some tropes I was not aware of, like reverse harem. I have a large bag of swag, bought some books, and am settling down to read Fang'd by @vingeorgeauthor.bsky.social.

I am doing the pledge habit this year with @gywo.bsky.social. Mine is the excursionist, which is to write 180 days in one year. I'm already over my target for the year so far. If it carries on, I expect to hit 180 by the end of Oct. I've also written 154k words so far, which is nuts!
