I had a great time at the @societyofauthors.bsky.social #AuthorsNorth event in Sheffield today. Lots of very interesting discussions about the impact of AI and how creatives could deal with it. Also, Lisa Maltby showed us how to draw roses.

I ended up painting a mug in the colours of my next trad book. I've never had a mug that matches my book before, so I thought I'd treat myself.

A mug, painted light teal with a few coloured spots.
