To the heady and blustery heights of Tintagel for yesterday’s happy birthday treat, a magical place of legend and wild coastline with succulent-covered slopes and fabulous views. King Arthur was looking mighty fine. 💫 #tintagel #devon

Novel edits are in, a few tweaks on an old short story re-hashed, soon to return to the next novel wip... and writing moves on. We write, we edit, we polish, and we grow through the layers, all the while learning and changing, in writing as in life, the life of a writer. ❤️

I truly love and enjoy writing. The chaos, the surprises, discipline, dead-ends, ghost roads, focus, catharsis, that feeling of being changed by my own work. I wouldn’t outsource this to AI software for *anything*. But then again, I’m an actual writer who enjoys writing.
