Working on a "libraries in games" article (out soon!) but boy is it hard to screenshot a character without them looking like they fear books...

Got the delightful @samfern.bsky.social to do a professional developmental review of my novella's first draft – a first ever for me – and oh my god now I just want to shut myself in and write but I need to wait until life is less... *gestures at everything* 10/10 would recommend

A joy to show the delightful folks at Toppings (Edinburgh) that I can write my own name! Must stop wearing same coat to all signings... #booksky #toppings #bookshops #edinburgh

On the hunt for any book able to accurately and sympathetically convey the ardour and pathos of a persistent little headache. #booksky

walked up to passport control at Copenhagen airport last night to be greeted with ‘why are you here?’ Alright Soren Kierkegaard!

Language is our punishment for abandoning the ape life of dirty fruit and good sticks. Exhibit A: My drink by the drink my drink drinks.

If only I could be a cute little korok today floating happily from a korok balloon. ☺️ #zelda #legendofzelda #botw #breathofthewild #korok

As a lifelong devotee of 'Mute Forest Elf Pottery Smash Simulator', it sure is more satisfying to enact terracotta crimes on the Hyrulian peasantry as their Head of State. #zelda #EchoesofWisdom #nintendo

A screenshot of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, in which Zelda aims a giant pot at a small child.

The Jane Austen Museum claimed this carried ailing patients around; I will no longer accept a lesser writing environment. Lock me in, carry me to pleasing views, and feel free to rest me down when I tire of the swaying. #booksky #austen

You are wandering through the woods. It is misty. Moonlight casts a cold highlight over the gnarled branches and decaying ground. Do you go towards the mountain in the distance? or back to the apparent safety of the trees?
