Fact One: I am a stationery nerd. Fact Two: Today I took delivery of a box of Blackwing 602 pencils, which is a change from my usual Blackwing Mattes. I am more excited about this than I probably should be. #pencillove

New Comic Book Day! I have a Superboy story in DC HAWK-GIRL SUMMER with art by the amazing Rafael Loureiro. Always a dream writing a character with a big S on their chest… ESPECIALLY Connor. Thanks editor Michael McCalister for making my summer!

So sorry to hear the passing of the great Tom Chadbon who I shared many a happy studio session with while producing Blake’s 7, not to mention the story-filled meals after recordings. An absolute gent. God speed, Tom.

Out today from Audible! STAR WARS MISSION STORIES: HAN & CHEWIE, narrated by Ron Butler! It’s the canon path from my first Choose Your Own Adventure-inspired Star Wars gamebooks that I wrote back in 2018. I love the fact that those stories are getting a new outing! Punch it!

All of this (read Cav's thread). It's why I love folk music, especially the unaccompanied singing that I do. It's a great way to reset myself. Just me and a song that's 150-250 (or more) years old. And there are some excellent rebel/protest songs in the world of traditional folk song!

In the culture wars, they want to stop us creating, from doing what matters for us. To make us fit their world. Art has never been that.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how rebellious positivity is in our current world. So many forces are trying to make us despair, to give up, to pit us against each other. They want to grind us down, to make us submit to the view of the world that gives them power.

Just back from watching The ODYSSEY. Loved every slow burn, beautiful moment. This line summed it all up for me. A lesson we should never forget. Don’t look for gods in men. And, just as importantly, don’t set yourself up as a god. You’ll fall.

Justin Richards was a complete and utter gentleman, a joy to work with and a thoughtful and supportive editor. I first learned of his illness when we were working on Dalek from BBC Books and was so sad to receive the news of his passing yesterday. Thank you Justin for happy times and places.
