Just finished reading the first book in the Legend of Drizzt series. Unfortunately, Drizzt is predictable, cliche, and ridiculously overpowered to the sense there is no real sense of peril or struggle (which also means no sense of growth of vulnerability). Final score out of 10? I give it a 5.

I keep receiving compliments from readers saying they really enjoy my style of writing. Maybe there is a market for slow-burn character-driven narratives after all. (Also it makes me happy people are enjoying what I write.) #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity #indiewriter #writerslife #humblebrag

You missed a side effect: insomnia from where your brain wakes you up at 2am because it has to write this scene absolutely right now, it can not wait till the morning.

I went to Wake the Tiger a couple years ago and it blew my mind. Had such a great time. Would love to visit again!

A sad post today. Yesterday we sadly had to put down the family dog. She was getting quite old (going on 15+ years), and had been struggling with lung cancer. It sadly just got to the stage where we decided it best not to let her suffer longer than necessary.

Well I was right about Spain beating Portugal, but wrong about the USA beating Belgium. Today's predictions: #Argentina to beat #Egypt #Columbia to beat #Switzerland #worldcup #FIFA #football

Richard Churchill @rjcauthor.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

It's nice that my #worldcup predictions are accurate. I said Portugal would beat Croatia. I said Spain would beat Austria. I said Argentina would beat Cape Verde. For today's matches; #Spain to beat Portugal. #USA to beat Belgium. For more predictions, check out my #youtube: youtu.be/0pGypqz-2wY

Well that was new. Dog wakes up from sleeping and starts zooming between every room repeatedly and whimpering as if spooked by something. Weird thing is nothing happened so no idea what could have spooked her. Took me 15 minutes to get her to calm down.

Reviews are so polarising. "The language is pompous, there is no direction, and just the opening paragraph is enough to make me throw it in the bin" also "I don't normally enjoy reading, but after the first chapter I was surprised to find myself wanting to read more." #writesky #writingcommunity

Perhaps, but this is a mystery novel, and mysteries work best with things are left unseen.

Richard Churchill @rjcauthor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I prefer to leave it to the readers' imagination, which is why I have been deliberately vague in describing my characters during the story itself.
