Day 134! I read Light and Sleek and Strong by @ephiny.bsky.social published by @wyldblood.bsky.social. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that the world won't end if you get what you want for once, unless of course it will. Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/05/14/s...

Had a great time yesterday being filmed for community TV show 5 or 8, who interviewed me about my writing. It’ll be on Channel 31, YouTube, and elsewhere - eventually! This is what I looked like beforehand.

This week marks one year since Pick Your Potion was released. In that time it’s been an Aurealis Awards finalist, longlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Awards, and on the Locus Recommended Reading List. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported it. That means so much to me. 💖

All the Times I’m Ten - Small Wonders

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work! Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!

You can still get where you want to go if you are slow at writing, or inconsistent about writing, or have long periods of time when you're not able to write, even very small and very intermittent progress over a long period of time will still add up if you keep at it and don't give up on yourself

if u see this, quote-post with your tips for writers that no one gives anymore because they seem obvious (even though they're not)
