Thank you iPhone notes. Always there for the epiphany.

Only 600words today as one of my characters is demanding a bigger role and she is making a compelling argument that I must explore.

113k words of epic darkness and counting!

Anyone else having a real hard time with AI 'bands' on spotify? I always have music playing whilst I'm writing, but I will NOT support AI work. I support creators, not stealers of others work. It's getting harder to tell the difference though, I don't like it.

Its a great review. Gemmells work is all about character.

It's one of the best. The time I spent with the big man is something that I will always treasure. I can still feel snaga's weight. I hope to one day craft a tale that does justice to his words of wisdom. It's good to see his work still celebrated.

Enjoyed writing then tennis with my daughter (no longer a pixie-mermaid-faerie, trying to deal). She just wanted connection. We chatted, laughed and her joy spending time with me made me realise I need to balance writing and family better #WritingCommmunity

The next book of The Great Plan series is going well. 103.5k words with more dragons, more epic darkness. Focus is key, not getting distracted by random ideas and…
This week I wrote a 4.5k short story with new characters.
The focus thing might be a work in progress.

Taking a punt on a new artist for my next novella is scary. Reduced budget, lack of artist availability, its all culminating in this. And I thought writing the damn thing was hard.

Left field. Would you be open to some sort of music I can use on my site/ work? Dark fantasy author here. (No bloody idea why dark fantasy seems link to romantasy, I am grimdarkish) I just want to create atmosphere and challenging as an indie

Spending above my budget to get my latest novella cover created by a creative not using AI. I am very passionate about this. My books could have a lot more illustration and as such be more visually appealing, but I can't do it. Creatives supporting creatives.
