This is so sensual, and evocative! 👏👏 I wondered, may I select a few words from yr poem & use them in the game I play on my Brainstoryum podcast? These are mixed with other ppl's words & pulled at random from the Socks of Destiny to create new writing prompts. I'd quote yr name when doing so. ☺️

So...despite my tablet refusing to work at the last minute (😳😬in a panic, switched to my phone), the interview panel hosted by @spotlightindie.bsky.social, "LET'S GET WEIRD", went wonderfully & I learned lots of deliciously weird things from my fellow weird writers 😊❤️ youtube.com/watch?v=dzx2...

Been thinking about the word 'procrastination'. Apparently 'crastination' is also a word, and has the same meaning. 'Pro'-crastination therefore must mean that you are actively supporting it. OR...that you've become so good at crastination, you're a professional now?! 🤔😆 #funny #words

Is it a game show? Is it a writing show? Is it laugh-out-loud funny or dark? Why can't a podcast be ALL of these? Check out Brainstoryum ep.115 for great #vss365, a murder mystery, & how to connect wildly different story elements in a single plot that will thrill. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkNL...

Hi New Followers 👋 You've made a wise choice. 👍 As well as posting silliness and hope for a better world I also write books (full of silliness and hope for a better world). Start with this free book of shorts written to introduce you to the #steampunk world of Hammersmyth. mybook.to/hammersmyth2

Book Cover for The Hammersmith Tales (spelt with a y instead of an i). A beige background with shadowy images of cogs and clock faces. In the bottom right corner sits a grey cat wearing brass goggles and a green scarf. H elooks out at us with a lopsided grin. His tail is segmented with metal joints and his eyes have mechanical irises. The book's title is across the top in red and gold. Written in white below it says "A collection of steampunk shorts from the author of", then in yellow/gold "Dexter & Sinister Detecting Agents." Below that is the author's name in white, Keith W Dickinson.

for the record the word game is a real show and the fiction grows out of what listeners hand in. I've contributed one (1) word, so I can vouch for the intake process at least.

Back in January, winter-frazzled me read out A Storm Brews to BFS: a story that changed a collection of shorts into a novel-in-stories... It was going to be called Weird Creatures, that being the theme. It became Story-Travelling with a Tea Witch (see📌) #books m.youtube.com/watch?v=VnUu...
