#life really getting in the way of #writing right now. But some good reading is keeping me going.

Every person you let into your life takes away a part of your soul. Occasionally you get it back; mostly it is consumed, feeding the beast we raise and nurture, spiritual forerunner of the Alsatians that will eat our flesh when we die alone. #booksky #amwriting open.substack.com/pub/anxiousg...

Can’t recommend this book enough for advice on collecting and organising random ideas. As good for planning a story as prepping for a DnD session. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Always love how this tower that looks like a random part of the amusements is actually one of the oldest buildings in Porty. #Edinburgh

When you’re about to put pen to paper on something new. Exhilaration and trepidation. The feeling of stepping into cold water, of meeting for a first date, of opening the door to a new adventure. Wish me luck. #writingcommunity #amwriting #booksky
