Currently reading: Harrow Lake — Kat Ellis #AmReading made it about 70% through last night, then had to stop. I might get to the point where I need to read this in daylight now - hahaha (yes, just starting out with the whole horror(-adjacent) prose)

I know I’m late to the party, but I came across this by chance - and just tore through it in record time.

A picture of a used paperback copy of Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus held up over a wooden side table with a fake plant.

Last sunset of 2025. It’s been a year - and at least for me - not completely shit. Here’s to 2026 to be even better. Remember: we are all part of shaping the future. Work and fight for what you want it to be. Because the neo-fascists deffo will try to gain (more) power. And they need to be stopped.

Last week, @pulpliterature.bsky.social dropped the #RavenShortStory #longlist Look who's lumped in with such an amazing group of writers! This is so exciting. The shortlist will drop later this month. I'll see how that goes, but this is encouraging on its own. #writing #genrefiction #competition

Ada explains the rules for going to my funeral with a rhyme much like Mom did for my wedding some 3 years ago: Something living, something dead, Something stolen, something red. Something fit to make them dread moonless night & crypt & dream, Something fit to make them scream… #beginnings #vss

Not a place in the top three - but a finalist. That’s still a win. #amwriting #writingcompetition

The year starts as the previous one ended: with fresh #sourdough bread.

On a kitchen counter are 3 bowls: closest to the camera a blue one, a yellow one in the middle and a transparent one in the back. all are filled with dough.

I miss the floof.

Revising is hard. I had to cut - aka decide to remove in service of the larger story - a whole scene where my MC dolls up for a party she wants to attend only partially. #amrevising #lines_from_the_cutting_floor

picture of a cactus and a yucca tree in front of a white wall. Black text in white reads: The doorbell rings with half an hour to go. I look at Ina and Mildred. Maybe Patrick decided to come and pick me up instead of waiting at the venue.
My face must show some apprehension because Ina hesitates to get the door. I plaster on a smile, brace myself, and wave her on. I’ll have to endure Patrick for the rest of the day; a few more minutes won’t make it worse.
