(Former) devoted book kid and (aspiring) writer, trying to rekindle my love of all things wordy. I’ll be sharing my #BookJourney as I work my way through my hefty TBR list and my #WritingJourney as I try to get my many WIPs down on paper.

What happens if we get to the end and there’s just three #Traitors left? Cause they get rid of one more Faithful and they’re a third of the group.

I had some hoisin duck burger that I bought on impulse like five months ago that never actually made it to BBQ so I thought I’d try my hand at a poke bowl….let’s all pretend the egg came out of the pan perfect and didn’t instantly collapse. #Cooking #HomeCooking #PokeBowl

A photo of an approximation of a poke bowl - white rice, mince, Bok Choi, pea shoots, cucumber, shiitake mushrooms and black sesame seeds.

So the next chapter of the #BookJourney is around 550 pages of fairly small writing so we may be in the long haul for this one 😂

Sparrow Witch Harpy

Careful when looking through the hedgerow she might follow you home.

(Good excuse to practice ink technique)

#witch

A very energetic black and white ink drawing of a sparrow witch harpy. She’s looking directly at you. Her body is of a sparrow and her face is of a beautiful woman. I’ve used various ink techniques such as dip pen and my brushes.

In Cumbrian dialects, 'broc' is badger

Badger is held in high esteem and 'brocan' means wise man. In lore, badgers protect against witchcraft and other evils

Can’t put my finger on it but this building seems to be missing something 😂 #Photos #York

A photo of only the entire front wall of a building (including windows). The rest of the building is gone, the front wall supported by red scaffolding and supports.

Look I did but myself a little treat in #York. But I was on holiday and you gotta. #Chocolates #York’sChocolateStory #HandcraftedChocolates

A photo of a small brown box against a yellow background. The writing on the box in silver says: York’s Chocolate Story. Handcrafted by our chocolatiers.

A photo of inside the box taken against a green background. There are six chocolates in the box. The top row has a milk coloured chocolate with swirls, cylindrical chocolate with three biscuit chunks and a green and copper swirled chocolate. The bottom has a square chocolate with orange flecks, a dark, milk and gold-swirled hearts and a chocolate swirled with orange and yellow shades.

I’ve always wanted to do a properly gothic vampire story…I’ve just never had a good vampire idea that’s gripped me and gone ‘this is the one’. #TBBChat

#TBBChat Q4: genre/sub-genre I'd like to write in?

Man that's a really hard question, because genre sometimes comes after for me. Or I mix-and-match.

I've written an eldritch horror WWII story, a story about a red panda paladin, romance stories with my wife.

Hard to say, except maybe all of them.

Weekend in York for the third wedding of the last three weeks 😂. I didn’t realize how pretty York was and the gang went out for an incredible hotpot the night before! #York #Scenic #HotPot

A photo of a medieval church/cathedral in York. The sun has hit the church tower while the rest of the building is in shadow.

A photo of a bubbling hotpot - the pot split in two with two different broths. Inside each half are an array of green leaves and mushrooms. Surrounding the hotpot are half full pots with raw potato, lotus root, Pak Choi, Chinese leaf and fried pork belly.

A photo of a medieval guard gate in York. It is in the middle of the road, with a bridge to one side that allows traffic through. The square structure is imposing with two small towers and a number of slim cross-shaped windows.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Relax

A photo of the ocean at sunset, the waves washing against the beach. The sunset of orange, the light reflected in the wet sand where the waves have drawn back from the sand.
