I really want to share the art of Evil New Thing (because of course I have to do that alongside), but I can't 😳

When your books have literally been plotting their entire lineage right from the beginning and YOU HAD NO IDEA.

It was always meant to happen this way 😳

Sleep eludes me, but I have a prologue l, 500 words of book one, and somehow about 10k words of book three, or maybe book 2.
The flu continues to plague my equilibrium.
Shopping arrives at midday. I think I may need a lie down.

Huge thank you to @ianhcreates.bsky.social for a brilliant #ukteenchat! Can't wait to scare myself up a copy! And of course to our host-mistress extraordinaire Emma (it won't bring up the people tags to tag you 🥴)

Great advice over on #ukteenchat tonight!

Ian Hunter - Children’s Author @ianhcreates.bsky.social · 2d

There is a lot happening all around us all the time, taking up our mental capacity and sometimes weighing heavily on what we do in life. My advice is be kind to (and patient with) yourself in what you do, and enjoy your craft. If you enjoy it, it will show in your work too🥳 #kindnesswins #ukteenchat

That sucks! I'll stick to Emma's feed and track the questions, but wonder why it's not showing the most recent hashtags? #ukteenchat

Emma Bradley @emmaebradley.bsky.social · 2d

Okay this is weird, I can only see these posts on your feed, not on the hashtag 🤔 I'm here I promise but might be a bit slow catching up! #ukteenchat

Rumour has it Kainen invented a Fae snowglobe (very similar to a human snowglobe but there's gift magic that makes it snow permanently)

My last hour:

OMG this is amazing!
ARGH PLOT HOLE
This is stupid.
This is the most natural thing I've ever done!
I have flu, is that why this sounds good?
Why can't it be finished so I can share it!
Don't share it yet, it'll spoil it.
My head hurts.
Oooh PLOT TWIST.

Haven't the faintest idea who she is or why I've drawn her, but maybe she'll end up in a story someday 🤷‍♀️

15 books, 4 years, and so much of my heart is buried in Faerie waiting for the nether to take me back to it
