Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘latibulate’, a 17th-century verb meaning to find a corner somewhere and hide in it.

A classic bodice-ripper romance style painting of a cishet couple embracing. She's dark haired, fair skinned, wearing a pink satin dress in the Napoleonic style. He's blonde, bare-chested (of course) and muscular. A text box over her reads 'Undress me with words'. He replies 'You have a spider in your bra'

I’m writing a new thing and have just reached 30,000 words, which happens to come in at a tidy 100 pages! I think I’m at the halfway point so just need to think up something extremely exciting to happen next! #nosoggymiddlehere #ukkidlit

Hello lovely people of Bluesky. Can I ask a favour? This platform feels like a friendly place to be, and I would like to build my bookish network here before I leave the bin fire that is X. Can anyone recommend publishing industry people to follow who might also like to follow me? Thank you. 😊

I’m still a little bit confused about how Bluesky works, so this is really helpful. I didn’t know that ‘feeds’ were a thing! Thanks @mattkendrick.bsky.social
