I should probably turn my Bluesky notifications on--what a fun thing to see when I accidentally open this app! Shouts out to Scott once again; it was absolute pleasure to work with him.

Also finished Lonesome Dove and it may be an all-time favourite. However, recency bias does go brr, so I will need to watch this space

25% of the way through Lonesome Dove and this book is so good man. Can see it cracking my favourites of all time at this rate

My one-short-story-a-year publishing streak is unbroken, bosh. What this tells me, though, is that I really need to pull my finger out and write more!

Excited to say that I have signed on the dotted line with @bcsmagazine.bsky.social and my story about space-faring monks and Anglo-Saxon kings will appear there later on in the year :) Thanks to Scott for his in depth editorial work which brought the story into being the best version it could be!

Just realised I referred to Anglian Water as Anglican water; that's being put down to dehydration induced delirium. In other news, we have water now. Big win

JJ @jordonjones98.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Anglican Water turned off around water around 12 today, with little notice. Said it'd be back on a 1800. Workers left at 1700. The time we'd get water back updated to 2200. It is now 2125. No workers can be seen. So, unless they're holding back our water for a laugh, I doubt I'm getting it back.

Wrote a short story last month that has gone through atleast 4 drafts and I havent done anything with it yet. Not touched it since I wrapped up last draft so need to give it a read and see if i still like it lmao

JJ @jordonjones98.bsky.social · 23/05/2025
Today has been productive. Finished the draft to a short story, got a rough plan for a second, and an idea for a third. They'll keep me productive for a little while.

Feel like I've been writing with blinders on for past few months. Forgot that I can literally write about whatever the hell I want, and remembering that is pretty liberating

This is what happens when you get marketing suggestions on Discord. (And because it's not in the actual image, you can find us at clarkesworldmagazine.com)
I can't begin to apologize enough for this visual travesty. Our robot mascot is the largest element. It sits in the lower right, with a flower wreath on it's head and a waving capybara is poking out from it. In the top left, there's a screaming possum, yelling READ CLARKESWORLD!!! Our robot will be sad if you don't. Across the top it says The only science fiction magazine that is possum approved! Oh, and I forgot to mention that this includes the most offensive fonts, primarily comic sans, but also papyrus, brush script, and courier. I won't pain you by explaining each use. Oh and wingdings, which is under the approval notice. Apparently, it's Clarkesworld in wingdings. How did I forget to say that the background is blue and most of the text is pink? Next down from the top is an area just labeled This space intentionally left blank, then the possum speak. Now we have No Zombies Allowed even with the capy, who by the way has lens flares arcing down and away from the robot. That runs into a sloth with its arms and legs outward, like it is falling. It's saying fun! As it falls towards a hole, which has above it, Get the hole story! a callout to Isabel J. Kim's story that's on so many award ballots this year. Above the sloth, it says science fiction written by humans! and below the robot's chin, it says Online now! In the bottom right corner is the I'm just a girl hamster with subscribe written over it's head. The text is at all sorts of angles. Chaos reigns. And nowhere does it say where you can find Clarkesworld.

I've been working on my main WIP since mid 2022--I think. Between graduating my MA and starting work I've not been able to put as many hours into it as I want. However, one benefit of taking so long whilst continuing to read, write short stories etc is it does a good job of showing my growth

My biggest regret is that, before leaving my home town for greener pastures, I never popped over to Wigan for a proper Wigan Slappy. And popping a frozen pie in a barm seems like it would do a disservice to the greatest culinary innovation of north-west england

Wanted to share the first short story I published; which was also the first story I wrote! It's certainly the weakest piece I have put out there, but it holds place in my heart. Also, I did do a typo in the title--let's pretend it was intentional thechambermagazine.wordpress.com/2022/09/02/n...

Say what you will about Ebenezer Scrooge but his pajama game was on another level. You can hate the man, but you can't hate that nightgown/cap/slippers/candle combo. Straight-up cozy.

Overlooked for the Booker Prize AGAIN. Apparently you have to “first write a book”. Nepotistic literary establishment setting insurmountable barriers against me, the extraordinary man in the street, entering. Makes me sick.
