So I have come to the realisation that each of the three Juniper Wharf books I'm writing are going to be vastly different in genre This could either go really well, or really badly...

#SongsOfSeptember Another song for Ruby and Marko, but also spoilery? Let's just say this repeats a few questions we've covered this month! CHILLS, man. Chills. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o5d...

In the UK, our degrees take three years, and we are not able to have a major/minor system like the US has. The only way to do more than one subject is to take a joint course such as English/History. Kinda sucks, though, because I'd have loved to have minored in something totally different

#SongsOfSeptember The final battle in Juniper Wharf is between Ruby (and a few allies) against [REDACTED], so have this song which is fitting! The song title also holds a clue 👀 youtu.be/F3I7Y_Fntgg?...

Nothing like drafting your manuscript reminding you that you were, in fact, inadequate, that you were too much but not enough at the same time, that you weren't even a footnote in anyone's story 💀

#SongsOfSeptember Juniper Wharf has many, many musicians. Which has been fun for me to try and research into the music process, touring, and the industry in general!

I put the name of my book club to a poll It was a good idea at the time, but one of the options is literally "This Is A Book Club"

I *could* say Sonic 2, as that was my first game, but I'll go with Dead Nation. This guy asked me if I wanted to play a game with him, I said yes. We ended up playing Dead Nation. I'm marrying this guy.

On god the past 24 hours has been a shitshow here. So earlier yesterday morning, while repairs were going on for one water mains, another one burst. And it left my town and surrounding areas without water. We got lucky and managed to have water up until around 3pm or so

Former VTuber here (and may re-debut in the future) I started streaming with my face out there. But being inspired by several of my VTuber friends, I built a model and ran with it. I felt so much more confident as a VTuber There may be a circus moth in the works 👀

I got tired of being convenient for people, and I think I managed to find myself by shutting out all the noise and basically leaving a whole community of people behind It's hard to figure out if people are being genuine with you or if there's an ulterior motive (there usually is an ulterior motive)

#SongsOfSeptember I often put some instrumental synthwave on, or Ollie T, if I want minimal distractions. But I've learned to work with lyrical music in the background I can't not have music on in the background, though

An underrated Pokémon I really love is Conkeldurr It helped absolutely carry a Sleeplocke I did once, and I feel it's under-appreciated for what it can do

#SongsOfSeptember We do have one musical antagonist - Melodius, the Demon of Music. They like to taunt Ruby with her own shortcomings, in the form of a song. The song doesn't exist yet, so have Herald of Darkness instead! youtu.be/uxs_HYw_mLk?...

I've had a plot bunny in my head for the past week, and now it's got bones. I haven't written any form of short story in so long, it feels kinda strange
