Got a few personal life concerns right now, so acknowledging that the world might end soon and I won’t have to solve anything is weirdly soothing
Trying to apply for arts council research and development for individuals fund and so far i've researched every corner of their broken labyrinth of a website and developed a deep resentment for it. So a successful round of r&d you could say.
Genuinely and unironically, I love that we've finally made it through the "every movie is a Marvel" era and reached "every movie is an adaptation of two sentences Stephen King wrote on the back of a napkin while doing cocaine".

Drinking an ice cold pepsi because unlike coca cola, pepsi has definitely absolutely never done anything even remotely morally reprehensible. Mmm, a delicious glass of ethics.
Feral, bloodied, charging through a swirling blizzard... Just some of the experiences I had while writing part of this book. It's my first contribution to the Wrath & Glory line, having had the honour of working with some true Long Fangs of TTRPG writing. I can't wait to get my claws into a copy.

Cheese is the best thing you can do with milk, obviously. Whereas Cheese! (note the punctuation) is the best book you can read your kids. And now @thisisdouch.bsky.social is working on a sequel. Delicious! Pledge for a copy to delight your kids and/or spite a lactose intolerant nemesis.

Part of England’s problem might be that the flag is too easy to spray on things. Imagine if we had something closer to the Australian flag? I can’t see the racists taking the time to lay down a blue base coat before carefully spraying all those stars.
Travelling today while reading a Lovecraft story and I’ve just got to the reveal that the terrible dark thing at the heart of it all is happening *today*, but sure it’s fine, totally fine, not an omen of any sort.
Delighted to say that our film LADRON has been awarded the Screen Cornwall Fylm K fund! Our Crowdfunder - crowdfunder.co.uk/p/ladron-thiev… - launches today so please check it out and share the film far and wide. We are @ladron_thieves_film over on Instagram!
Writing my first RPG adventure. Made a typo while aiming for ‘he leaps forward with a savage howl’, which autocorrected to ‘he leaps forward with a sausage’. Sure, it changes the emphasis of the encounter… but I’m not 100% against it.
Friends, clients, would-be wealthy benefactors! It has come to my attention that some emails I’ve been sent have been mysteriously waylaid by the warp, en-route to my inbox, and I haven’t received them. It sounds like some made up bullsh1t, I know. But alas, I have proof.
Some monsters I painted for Tribes & Tribulations, for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Really dug the darker vibe I was asked to hit for these.

A writing credit on a new radio show (for me) AND I get to spend all day writing for an IP I grew up loving? Good day to be a freelance writer. For balance, yesterday my car cost me £150. They can’t all be winners.
Opened Twitter for the first time in a while. "I wonder if it really is as bad on here as we all made out"... First tweet I see is sponsored one for a testosterone supplement, with the undeniably arresting headline "this drained my man boobs". So yeah.
Please help us with this really important bit of research. Any information you give us is confidential but will help us understand the scale of the problem and tackle it. Please share.

This review of a glue gun has left me with questions…
Guys, try to remember that Easter isn't about chocolate or getting two days off work. It's about hot cross buns loaded with heart-stopping amounts of butter.
Why have I gained 50ish followers in the last two days? Who’s added me to a “people who don’t really post and therefore won’t bother you much if you follow them” starter pack? Come on, own up.
Oh my! Turns out we’re back next week!

At my kids' school last night for an awards thing, and they had 'screenwriter' up as a viable career option! Obviously, I corrected them and had it taken down.
