You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Interesting archery night. I discovered why I've needed to keep moving my sight down over the last year. It turns out that, ever so slowly, my nocking point has been creeping up my string. It was over 1/4" up from where it had been tied!

This whole time I thought the problem was my form 🙈😂

Also I've been shirking my novel writing responsibilities to teach myself how to use Blender. I've got it in my head that I'll definitely need some 3D models of Augment Saga spaceships for future book covers and art materials.

It's... Not easy 😂

A slightly miffed day yesterday since I didn't get to shoot because I stupidly injured myself setting up Mr 10's bow 🏹 just before getting mine ready at the club 😒

Crushed my index finger between the limb and the string while stringing it.

It's just bruised but I didn't want to risk it.

📆 End of the weekend so let’s do a weekly reading update! 😊

My reading pace crashed this week as I’ve been busy with other deadlines and jobs. However, I’m mainly reading Eric Brown’s “Helix” while the other active 📚 I pick up intermittently.

Nuclear war devastated the world. Now, decades later, those countries that can have been rebuilding, keeping themselves isolated to prevent another war.

Not that it stops spies, though.

But what happens when one such spy falls in love with his mark?

Planned a day off from writing but ended up reading the first half of my WIP Emperor’s Fall. I was thinking it’d be rough and disjointed, instead it’s twelve of the best chapters I’ve ever written in 1st Draft. Wow. Cover below! #scifibooks #scifi 💙🪐🪐📚

I love urban/ #scifi #fantasy, but find it a bit dull when they rely too much on medieval weaponry all the time.

Which is one reason why I wrote The Magic Circle.

Yes, there's magic, shapeshifters, and supernatural forces, but there's also laser drones, spy gadgets, and haptic shields.

📋 I recently asked my 🦋 mutuals to suggest some 📚 they wanted me to read. I picked out a few that I either had or that caught my 👀 and I’ve bunged a pair onto my November TBR.

Mutuals, feel free to add more recs/nudges/reminders to 🧵 below!

My contribution to this bundle is What May Rise from the Ashes, a story about an elderly librarian whose beloved library is about to shut out the general public. She won't be having that.
