Excited to be at Ink & Quill Literary Festival next week in Montrose! I'll be running a free folklore workshop on the Friday evening, then talking to @mkhardywrites.com and Angie Spoto about Scottish gothic horrors for Summerween. All the festival events here: inkandquill.co.uk/collections/...

In these times, it's a joy to fill spaces with human-made art that you love, art you've made, art gifted or made by friends, art bought locally or straight from the artist, art with a story or memory behind it 🖼💙

Just a wee loaf in the sun

I guess I was feeling something while doing copyedits the other day...👁

Sea swim today was perfection ✨️🏊‍♀️

Hello darkness my old friend

"And then the email said we loved it, but..."

Thought that if I ran at 9pm the heat wouldn't destroy me...I was wrong 😅

I think he's comfy

Back at the lino with a wee lighthouse💡🌊

Today's writing day, only wrote about 100 words of the new coastal folk horror, but I did make a rough island map on Canva (sneak peek below) and figured out some lore, setting and plot stuff so I'm pleased 🌊👁 (does this make me a planner? A surprise even to me...)

Finally made a show at Shakespeare's Globe while in London, Much Ado About Nothing which was fantastic! And they upgraded our seats by accident, then let us stay anyway so we got to be in the "Gentleman's Box", fancy! 😅🎭

New murderbug just dropped 👁🐛

Today I met a 10 month old bear

Trying out this cosy game 💁‍♀️

So it begins again... 👀🌊

Preparing for coastal horrors and weird Scottish folklore to become my entire personality again 👁🌊 (this time with a novel project...)

If anyone is curious what my early writing process is like, it's often just me writing random things into my notes while the plot unravels in my head...🌊👁

Same, Pippin, same
