I’ve published three YA fantasy books. I talk about writing and cars. #WritingCommunity. Unless we’ve been talking, do not DM or pitch services. If you only post politics, I won’t follow back
Old demon of the day - Draugr The draugr is one of the inspirations behind the modern undead warrior, appearing in games such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. But it was an intelligent, malevolent, and often almost unstoppable guardian of the dead. #booktok #OldDemonOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Obmutescence The number of times I’ve prayed for this 😂 #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
Old demon (monster) of the day - Buggane And I get accused of being grumpy when I’m woken up by alarm bells! 😂 #booktok #OldDemondOfTheDay #DemonOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters

Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Chimerical “His plans for building a flying city were purely chimerical.” #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
Old demon (monster) of the day - Amphisbaena Proof that two heads are scarier than one 😱 #booktok #DemonOfTheDay #WordOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Old demon (monster) of the day - Strix A blood-sucking creature that preys on the vulnerable. It may predate vampires, but it certainly sums up social media trolls and bots 🤣 #booktok #DemonOfTheDay #WordOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Fetch Such a strange earlier meaning of a commonplace word now. #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Daddles I wonder if mothers used to tell their children to, ‘Go wash your daddles before tea!’ #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
Old demon (monster) of the day - Leucrocotta 🤔 something cruel that pretends to be human. I think we have a new name for bots 😂 #booktok #DemonOfTheDay #WordOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Buxom This one has certainly changed its meaning over the centuries. #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
Old demon (monster) of the day - Pontianak Just reading about her was frightening #booktok #DemonOfTheDay #WordOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Old demon (monster) of the day - Impundulu I’m not sure even an Impundulu would be brave enough to attack some people’s armpits with the current heatwave 😱 #booktok #DemonOfTheDay #WordOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Thrawn Have you or anyone you know been thrawn today? #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay

Ye olde word of the day - Ninny Is this a term used anywhere else? I remember it still being around in Herefordshire in the 1980s, despite my research saying it died out in the 19th century. #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
Old demon (monster) of the day - Crocotta You could almost say “Social media comments are full of crocottas mimicking real people to lure you in.” #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay #Demons #Monsters
Bringing old words back to life. Ye olde word of the day - Froward I’ve met so many of these over the years, have you? #booktok #OldWordOfTheDay #OldWords #WordOfTheDay
