Well, that was a busy day! I took part in the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social BFS Online event, interviewing the charming Philip Reeve, managed to squeeze in some words on Rise of a Witch Queen, then chatted all things folklore with @worldanvil.bsky.social for @worldanvil.com

Game night at The Thirsty Dragon! We’re between campaigns right now so we pulled up to a local tavern, grabbed a cold ale, and strategised about our next quest! 🙌✨🥰🥳 Our new party is called Investigators of Metaphysical and the Paranomal… or IMP for short 😅😂

I've never done this on social media before but... ...my brilliant assistant is moving on to pastures new after three years. I am looking for someone to help me out. They need to be able to *get to North London easily, regularly*, energetic (it's often a dashing-around/carrying stuff job)...

Talking publically about the neurodivergent experience is SO important. Names have power. Sharing our experiences - understanding we’re not alone - alleviates all that internalised shame. And sharing tools to cope helps us all ☺️

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 18364: WORLDBUILDING. How much of your world do you know? How do you process that knowledge? Apply the same rule to your characters. Decide how far their world extends, and help the reader experience it through your protagonist's senses.
