I've just read a post about writing with delusion, and it's made me feel slightly less nuts. On Wednesday, it all gets real as the anthology of our Creative Writing MA is launched. I'll be reading my story 'Blackbird' in a crow suit. Not really. #ArtsUniversityBournemouth #LaunchNight #ShortStories

Ten days to write this year's @wordfairy advent calendar. This year's theme: Books What I Have Found This Year. Any thoughts on the titles in this pic, feel free to comment (and yes, there are 13 other titles out of shot). Cover me, I'm going in... #DeckTheShelves

Swear I didn’t order this signed copy of #Folk by #ZoeGilbert. What a dreamy mystery to unpick! Was it you? First line - no, first word = splendid. ❤️💛💫🐾

There are Days for everything (cats, garlic, ties), but National Poetry Day must bring out our inner poster, so here's a fave. Rhyming? Yes. Delicate? A bit. But that ending… boom. Also love Dorothy Parker, Brian Bilston, Harry Baker, John Hegley, Georgie Jonez, and my mate Diana @voxerbrand. Grand.

Sometimes, a happy thing occurs and the buzz never fades. Top of my list: a proposal, + preg test, one or two especially fab haircuts... and finding myself, somehow, on this shortlist: www.bathshortstoryaward.org/2025/07/13/s... #bathshortstoryaward #bssa #shortlist #creativewriting #chuffed

Welcome to PSSA - great to see you on Bluesky! (Particularly meaningful for me one of the founding members, the late and missed Jo Darke was a dear family friend 🖤🤎)

Two things I discovered today: 1) My name is still fiendishly tricky for some people to get over the phone (yes I talked slowly). 2) Anyone can be the other person on a Two Together railcard, not just the named partner. So cool. 3) I procrastinate less with deadlines. (Three things, then)

Poetry warning, readers look out – For the next 6 weeks I'll be playing about With rhetoric: rhythm and stanza and meter, Sometimes I'll rhyme, sometimes I won't. Thanks to my teachers at CSFG – English aint everyone's cup of tea, For me it was totally heavenly. (Sorry, bit twee) Signed, Me #AUB

Thanks @Netflix for scheduling the new @queereye series just after New Year, when resolutions feel too much like hard work, and all we want is a dash of glitter, a sprinkle of hope, and some magic house renovations. (Enough of the messy-room-shaming, though. You never have old cheese in the fridge?)

Am at the 'Oh Holy Night' bit of the festive schedule. You know, the kind of week where you check your iPhone notes and the last entry reads: Chess bowls Chicken out Man with bat None of that can be remotely important, but what if it is? #makeitstop

Afternoon thought, exploring representation of character on my Creative Writing MA. The #BechdelTest sets 3 criteria for a text (film, book, play) that: i) involves at least two women ii) who talk to each other iii) about something besides a man. Not judging, just can't think... Mind blank. Anyone?

Someone on my MA course just said: "Traditions are peer pressure from dead people". Now I've got to remember to flip that one out at the appropriate time, without getting it wrong #couldgobadly

Was advising son to take Lemsip but it came out as ‘kale dip’ and now I’m wondering if that would’ve been healthier.

Another late night helping uni son apply to internships in software engineering (from a distance, obvs), because the detail of it all is doing his head in. Was always relieved we didn’t go near anything Oxbridge-ish, now this. Since when did they all have to be so brilliant so soon? #internslips

Just catching up on #MasterchefProfessionals (with one eye on a work project, as you do). Lovely quote from a candidate: "Life is chapters". Deffo. I'm probably on Chapter 9/14 of a large book, and perhaps Chapter 5/9 of a small one. No idea of future plot turns further than my nose. #LifeIsChapters

Finding it hard not to comment on the #booksky #bookchallenge, just posting a cover a day. I get the idea of muting the chat, and don't want to write essays on each one. But a line per book might encourage chat. With my towering bookstack, I wonder when I'll get a chance to read any of them again.
