I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

One of the comments on the announcement of LibreOffice 26.8 was a simple question: “So, no AI is now a feature?” LibreOffice does not reject artificial intelligence out of hand, but an office suite us...

🥹 guess who woke up to a little orange No1 bestseller banner today? (Celebrating the small wins, guys - it’s not a big category, but it’s still something!)
Screenshot showing MANEATER (my novel written under the pseudonym Ellie Graves) has reached #1 bestseller status in Slasher Horror in the Uk Kindle charts.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This is so true. And it’s also why I, as someone who is known more for writing horror, loves writing romance, too. Romance lets you indulge in your characters like no other genre, and that’s a wonderful, wonderful thing 🥰 (It’s also A LOT harder to write - and break into - than people think it is)

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

I have lost a notebook. It was from 2022, and contains a story idea that I am very keen to re-explore. I am VERY antsy about this and I don’t like it 😰 (It’s going to be in one of my Boxes Of Doom in the cupboard under the stairs, I just know it…)

Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Giant Clams 3. Fraggles 4. Quicksand 5. That time my mum decided to show us a film that she thought was going to be ‘just like The Hobbit’ but was actually The Sword And The Sorcerer 6. The defibrillator scene in The Thing

Writing about shoving misogynistic men off 200ft cliffs, so naturally I’m 2hrs deep into researching ‘how Belgian Malinois dogs are different to German Shepherds’. You go to write a book about unhinged murderous women, end up getting hung up on the finer details of dog breeding. As you do.

A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.
‘The British public decided in the 1930s that they would not tolerate black-shirted militias marching through their streets. They would cherish robust political argument; they would not accept thuggery and intimidation. When Oswald Mosley led his Blackshirts to Cable Street, local people turned them back. A new law – introduced by a Liberal, backed by Labour and carried by a Conservative majority – banned private militias, political uniforms and ‘the use or display of physical force in promoting any political object’. The British people are as determined today as in the 1930s that they will not accept the methods of Mussolini and the Munich Beer Hall. This government will uphold the law and defend the traditions of British democracy’.

Hi, I’m an eldritch horror with a surprisingly soft centre pretending to be at least 3 different people writing lots of different genres, but my main disguise is called Claire. I like music that sounds like someone with very specific rage issues is beating R2D2 to death with a drop D tuned guitar.

Welcome to 28 years of marriage. We know how to celebrate in STYLE
A snapshot into 28 years’ of marriage, including Event Horizon on the telly, a basket of clean laundry that hasn’t been put away just peeking into the shot and my laptop just in the foreground. I especially like the juxtaposition of the lace doily on the sideboard next to the horror movie playing on the TV, and the The Thing picture next to the snake plant.  (Not in shot: husband. He’s sat next to me. And cat. He’s on my lap.)

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title above the first two panels reads, "Dog Toys".
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a bone shaped dog toy. She says, "Look!"
The second panel shows a dog wagging its tail. There is a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It squeaks!"
The title above the last two panels reads, "Cat Toys".
In panel three we see Sarah again. She says "Come, child."
Panel four shows a cat raising its paws in glee. We see Sarah's hands holding cat nip. We see a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It is time to do drugs".
