Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 08/09/2025My office is featuring a new piece (on loan of course) from my talented wife, @mariedarling.bsky.social 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 25/04/2025Riddled with the same small errors and missteps of any of my creative endeavors, but I’m still pretty proud of my first real attempt at furniture. This is a small coffee bar that will go against a wall in my office. 000
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 16/03/2025I took a break from work and worrying about the world to build something, and it felt great. I’m going to go ahead and make a habit out of this. 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 10/02/2025I have constructed some of my most enduring personal philosophies from tacky signs in dingy diners. An example: 000
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 06/12/2024The pressure cooker has made my journey from no soup to soup so much shorter. It is the high-speed rail of cooking implements, and in the cold months I am a frequent passenger. 000
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 26/11/2024I love the start of a new world build. Shaking off that clear inability to draw and sketching out some ideas that will be comically non-canonical artifacts by the time the thing actually comes into being. The best. #writing #fantasy 020
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 25/11/2024And it's probably a safe bet that no Dem is coming along to save us in this particular category. When it comes to fossil fuel profits the cartoonish evil is pretty bi-partisan - www.fastcompany.com/91187114/oil... 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 22/11/2024Working from home means being able to make a real breakfast, and if there's leftover rice that breakfast is definitely going to be eggs over kimchi fried rice. 100
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 12/11/2024I had trouble sleeping last night and deeply missed my canine insomnia cure, so Bluesky gets a rare selfie this morning. Beorn was the best boy during the toughest hours. So grateful for the time we had with him even if it was too short. 020
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 30/09/2024I was one of the first 100,000 here, but am probably in the bottom 100,000 for consistent posting. 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 04/09/2024I lost my late night writing partner last week, and it has been difficult to work. The words just seem to fall into the well of his absence. RIP Beorn. You were the best boy. 020
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 18/04/2024I feel a little let down by the version from my childhood. 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 14/02/2024I needed a map to help plot my first book attempt, and since then I've found the exercise useful for almost everything I've written. I'll even sketch out rooms sometimes to help block a scene. Despite my abysmal abilities as a draftsman I find this part of the process incredibly relaxing. #writing 151
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 08/02/2024@mariedarling.bsky.social drew some cover art for my WIP, and I had it permanently installed on my arm. As I struggle through this edit it's a visual reminder that I actually need to finish this damn novel. Otherwise, this tattoo is going to have a depressing story. #writing #amwritingfantasy 170

Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 20/11/2023The dog spent last night on the verge of puking which means I was awake and only on the verge of sympathy. Fortunately for him, he excels at apologies. 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 06/06/2023Do people like dogs on this app? I bet they do. Meet Beorn, my faithful writing companion. 010
Nic Darling @nicdarling.com · 01/06/2023I often go to sleep at night thinking about the coffee I am going to have in the morning. This delicious bag of joy has made the problem worse. www.blackwhiteroasters.com 000
