Happy Monday and February ✨
My schedule is oddly blank this week. Plenty of time for that to change, but looks to at least be a calm day to begin with.
May your coffee/tea be forever the perfect sipping temperature 🫶

When you’re finally home after a long weekend and then you only have a few hours to settle before heading to bed and prep for Monday 😭

I hate how much of my brain is still wired towards alcohol.
Waiting in the airport at the sportsbar to watch handball. Instead of just ordering a soda, I automatically got a beer that I actually don’t really feel like drinking 🙄😑

SFF Readers, do you like stories which centre friendship, or where friendship groups tackle plot problems?
To help you find them, I've organised this 37 book bundle. It's an even split of Fantasy, SciFi & SciFi-Fantasy, available till Feb 15! (Book blurbs in link 😉.)

I love how airports just have no rules when it comes to consumption.
Beer and burger at 7:30am? Why not!
(Not me, I’m sitting with my overpriced tea)

It’s my day off tomorrow but I have to get up early anyway because I’m an idiot who panic bought tickets to go down to DK even though it’s January and I’ve got zero energy to be social 🥲

Hm, let's go for Drowned Hearts.
Viola is just a child, but she has a dark side of manipulating and and doing exactly what she thinks.
She embrace it fully.
It does not turn out well.

You lob the sack onto the slab. The human spills out of it – battered and broken, your dagger lodged in their skull still.
Their face. You remember everything they’ve done.
The eyes glimmer at your contempt.
What are your characters’ darkest parts? Do they embrace them?

Hello! Karen here. Tired nugget who'll try to keep up.
I write various genres of horror and fantasy. My latest release was a collection of garden horror, the next will be a cozy sapphic romance 🤷♀️
The darkest? My intrusive thoughts.

The mound’s warm innards thrum as you descend. A huge, stone slab is ahead, shining with portent.
Eyes, older than words, behold you from the darkness. A question emerges.
Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what part of yourself do you consider the darkest?
