NEXT TO NORMAL
The pro-shot is coming to National Theatre @ Home on 2nd Dec, and a local company is mounting a production in late March/early April (I'm auditioning). An incredible musical about mental health.
Here are some longer thoughts on this wonderful show:

We’ve always been a theatre family. I met my wife when I was a working actor, she and I performed in several amateur show s together, and when the kids arrived they followed suit. Last year my oldest ...

I hate that boxes of Jordan's cereal state, "Contains 10 servings," when there are clearly just 3.

Not managed to stay clear of *all* the multinational retail giants, but this year our Christmas gifts have been bought from from 80-90% indie stores and creators.

This issue was the best parts of Fables mixed with not having to think about the politics of the author of Fables

Such a great book! (And the depictions of Sophie at various ages are brilliant!)

Sainsbury's delivery today.

"We’ve tried to pick the best substitute for the unavailable items below."

Sainsbury's Ginger 100g
substituted with
Sainsbury's Smoked Garlic Paste

So, the best substitute for fresh ginger isn't chopped ginger or ginger paste, but a totally unrelated vegetable paste.🤨

Very much enjoying the celebrity Traitors series, but it's not quite hitting the highs of the non-celeb version, for me.

Media reports suggest they're getting paid a £40,000 fee each and it doesn't matter who wins, because whoever wins, a charity (or charities) takes home the whole pot.

Heading home on the 14.03 @lner.co.uk train from Kings Cross to York with my daughter after a con. Had a wheelchair space booked, but the space was double booked, so there are 2 wheelchairs in a carriage that only has space for one. Daughter having to contort to sit in her wheelchair for 2 hours.

This is fabulous writing, and a steal at that price!
It's hard to believe, but 2025 means Romanitas has been in print for 20 years. A modern world where the Roman Empire never fell. If that sounds good to you, the ebook's just £0.99 for the anniversary all this month! www.amazon.co.uk/Romanitas-1-...

It's definitely still convention season!
So many UK and overseas friends currently in Brighton for World Fantasy. Meanwhile I'm heading to London tomorrow for Clockers Con, and then Thought Bubble in Harrogate in 2 weeks' time!
It's a wonder we get any actual work done! 😃

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 5:
A book doesn’t need a “serious message” to be worthwhile. Joy is a legitimate end in itself.

If y'all ain't karaoke-ing "Bohemian Rhapsody" with your editors, you're doing networking wrong. With @leeharris.net [To those checking our receipts, THESE ARE OFFICIAL BUSINESS MEETINGS, WE SWEAR!]

Heading to Clockers Con 2 in London on Saturday to either help murder some innocent villagers, or to rid the village of the evil therein.

Maybe both.

Those wooden bases that goods are piled on to make it easy for forklifts to move them around can get very dirty over months and years of use, so I've developed a system to easily and effectively wash them so they can be reused or sold as nearly new.

Just a bit of a pallet cleanser, really.

You know when Terry Pratchett said 'It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works'? Yeah, he meant this.

Has there ever been a worse set of faithfuls than those on Celebrity Traitors?

A great creator, documenting the birth and growth of her baby-now-toddler. Delightful cartoons which will resonate with anyone who has, or who has brought up, a child.

And a really low Kickstarter goal, so it's gonna happen!
Oh my goodness, everyone!!

The NAP COMIX Kickstarter is now LIVE!

Help me reach my goal of £6k to bring my bittersweet, heartwarming, hilarious webcomic to life in Real Book Form!
