Girls only want one thing and it’s sardonic but loyal, low-key attractive best friend energy.

Harrowing news as journalist Amal Khalil has been killed by Israel in a strike on Tayri in south Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire. Israeli forces prevented the Red Cross from rescuing her.

This is not wrong.

Thinking about the nurse rushing to save babies gathered in her arms from the premature/antenatal unit in a Lebanese hospital as it is bombed, and the kind of people who issue those orders, and the kind of people who obey them.

'Welcome everyone to the first meeting of Anti-AI Not-At-All-Anonymous. Would anyone like to introduce themself, laugh their arse off and call Sam Altman a prick?'

Thanks, if they have the time, that would be fab :)

It will never cease to amuse me how the tech bros here are constantly putting the rest of us on snide little anti AI ists, clearly hoping we're all going to be weeping into our coffees, and the response is invariably

At least in terms of ideas and inspiration, I don't need to refill the well. My well is overflowing.

Artistic energy is another matter, as my energy is often sapped by self-doubt. One thing that helps with that is talking through story ideas or bits I'm stuck on with my bestie.

Q3 - #HorrorWritersChat

Oh, the whole marketing part is the worst. My squirrel brain is hard to wrangle into anything approaching consistency.

There are just so many more hobbies I've yet to discover (as a way to procrastinate on what I'm supposed to be doing).

I actually find one of the best things is a day of workshops and talks, often online. It's really valuable to get perspectives from other creators, try new techniques. It brings back the element of fun and play, too. #HorrorWritersChat

In my latest ace horror “What Wakwaks Want: Halve Your Child and Eat It Too,” coming out with @phenomenapress.bsky.social: the manananggal. She splits in half at the torso and crawls into your home to eat unborn babies. But yes this affects the virgin apothisexual MC too. 🦇 🍽️

Q2 - #HorrorWritersChat

There ARE villains in In the House of In Between, and what they want is to protect anyone else from the harms they experienced. As we all know, the road to Hell…

Anything more specific would be spoilery. 🤫

I have a series of stories set in an apocalyptic world covered in twisted, mutated flesh. It's a wasteland full of chaos, but Magdalena brings about a certain order. A new order fit for a new world. She's a zealot, brutal in her devotion, spreading her religion as far as she can.
