Let’s just take a minute here to think about the methods of control there used to be in Victorian times. Were these ever put on a man? I highly doubt it.
an antique scold’s bridle in a display case in a museum. Text (in Welsh and English) says:

Dyfais arteithio a gwarth cyhoeddus or 16eg-19eg ganrif yw ffrwyn
scold (new brank) a ddefnyddiwyd yn bennaf ym Mhrydain a’r Almaen I gosbi menywod a ystyrid yn "sgoldwyr', yn clecswyr, neun
achosi trafferth.

Scold’s bridle (or brank) is a 16th-19th century torture and public humilation device used primarily in Britain and Germany to punish women deemed "scolds" gossips, or troublemakers.

I started the year with big writing plans. Then ADHD, new projects, social media and stubborn software had other ideas. Here's what happened — and what I learned.
theresahedgesauthor.wordpress.com
Writing with ADHD: When the Plan Goes Off-Piste
I started the year with good intentions. Doesn't everyone? There were accountability posts, Dominic Book 3, Project Cythraul, an anthology of Christmas stories, three short pieces, and a screenplay. Not all of them went according to plan. Some got pushed back, some got picked up, and some got thoroughly scuppered by other projects — or by software that apparently had its own ideas. Here's what I learned about writing, ADHD, changing plans, and being a work in progress.

✨ RELEASE DAY! ✨ SHARK IS OUT NOW! 🦈 mybook.to/SHARK Here’s what I woke up to this morning! Jon Morgan is an award-winning literary writer with an ego to match. He’s about to discover that success comes at a price. SHARK — available now #BookSky #IndieAuthor #ComedyHorror #ShortReads #Writersky
A writer in a fluffy blue dressing gown holds up the kindle version of her new book in front of her face. Partly because she wants the book front and centre but mostly because she doesn’t like being in photos. And she’s just realised that her iPad screen really, really needs a good clean.

🦈 COVER REVEAL! 🦈 Meet SHARK — a short comedy-horror novella coming October 1st. Jon Morgan is a celebrated literary writer. But Jon is about to discover that not everyone is quite as impressed with him as he is with himself. #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity #newfiction
A book cover showing an antique Typewriter in semi darkness. Overlaid, in clear but patchy stencilled block caps is the title “SHARK”.

Cover reveal coming soon. I must admit, the opinions have been split! “SHARK” is a short comedy horror read about an arrogant ‘literary’ writer who gets a truly bizarre comeuppance..! #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity

Okay, so it’s time to pick a cover for a short urban fantasy horror story. It features a pretentious author who gets his comeuppance in a very novel way… which would you choose? #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity
A book cover in black with the one word title “SHARK” at the top, with a graphic of a shark weaving its way through the letters of the title. A book cover in black with the one word title “SHARK” at the top, with a 1970s typewriter underneath. A book cover in black with the one word title “SHARK” at the top, with a spooky antique typewriter underneath it. A book cover in black with the one word title “SHARK” at the top, with a fountain pen writing across a sheet of paper underneath it.

Your favourite everyday vampire has retreated for summer. 🦇☀️ Too much sun, too many humans, not enough shade or sanity. Back in autumn — paler, peaceful, and ready to people-watch again. Until then, wear SPF and avoid crowds (for your health and your soul).

An Important Public Service Announcement From Your Everyday Vampire
It’s summer, which means I’ve vanished into the shade. My seaside town is full of tourists, sunburn, and queue-based chaos — so I’m taking my annual introvert-vampire hibernation. Have a lovely summer, wear sunscreen, and I’ll see you in autumn — paler, rested, and ready to be confused by humans again.

A chocolate ganache cake decorated with chocolate buttons that are set at a jaunty angle ‘cause it’s nearly 1 o’clock in the morning and I’m exhausted. Remaining laser focused on trying to smooth out ganache has drained my brain. But hopefully it’ll taste good. It better do. The cake, I mean. Obviously not my brain… Oh I better go to bed.
