Made some progress, but not much... my brain is a little frazzled today. Most of this story is going to take place at a dying father's bedside (I think), with the climax being the son going up to the quarry to find out what caused his dad's madness... I might flash back & forth??

Just realised I've only got a week to the deadline & I've barely written a page- I know where I'm going with the story (more or less), but it's gonna be a tight turn around unless I really pull my finger out. I keep doing this to myself. (though I always manage to turn it out)

You should definitely give this a read! Well worth your time! 👇👇👇 I really enjoyed it.
© Stevie@stevet.bsky.social · 3d agoSo, I gave it one last run by Tom @norab84.bsky.social and he gave it the thumbs up 👍. Here is my first ever short story if you fancy a quick read. Be warned, it has adult themes. stevetungate.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...
The writing was atrocious & so was some of the acting. Tone was all over the place. Skeletor's mumbling accent was a... choice. They also should've committed to the campness & not tried so hard to be so straight. But it was a fun film, I enjoyed it, and it was a visual treat.
Tom🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴@norab84.bsky.social · 3d agoJust started Masters of the Universe, and opening the film with a sensitive little boy who's dad is ashamed of him (and is trying to make a man out of) was certainly an unsubtle choice... is the rest of this film this queer?
Did you know you can find both @norab84.bsky.social s work inside the Anthropocene Epic?

So... I might end up with 2 extra copies of Book of Madness 😅 I pre-ordered 2 off Amazon, but I forgot, then ordered another 2 from the publisher lol I'm probably gonna give the extras away, see how I feel when they come next week (FYI, Book of Madness contains one of my stories)
Another sweaty post-workout progress pic (2 pics for a change)... and yes, it's a short shorts day (because I'm not leaving the flat; don't want to terrify the public) Still haven't started the editing, but gonna have another coffee first 😁
Good morning beautiful people! 🌞 Have a stupendous Sunday Fun Day! 😘😘😘 I had a lie in this morning- gonna have some breakfast, then I've got some editing to do for a story coming out soon
