Ok I missed an entire day, but 723 words tonight. I'll take it!

I really like this. They could push me to buy this or that, but instead I'm just being encouraged to dive back in to things I already own.

Posting my wordcounts here as a sort of online accountability. Today: 500 words. Ended scene. Counted words. Exactly 500 I'm committing myself to matching that every day.

Sffauthors.ie updates Added a proper bio and lots more books for @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social, Small Magics by @alexdunnewrites.bsky.social, Strange is The Light by @griffski.bsky.social, and added a page for the late John Farrelly.

Is it a legal requirement for horse trailers to say HORSES on the back or is everyone just like bragging about having horses?

If anyone wants to add any events to sffauthors.ie - signings, launches, interviews, festivals etc - just send me a message on here. You can also send us an email from the contact page.

I'm on a roll with these sffauthors.ie updates. 1) Separate Book Series for authors. (will take me a while to add them all) 2) Mini-events: single author events like book signings. @mytholder.bsky.social is the first one for his upcoming book signing for #DungeonBook
