Finally wrangled my domain into shape, and have changed website host and creation to Canva. Much more basic, and has more work to be done on it still, but saving myself a couple of hundred a year, and it does the job. So if anyone's curious about what I do, hop over and have a look :)

Just had a little nose around @ryantpozzi.bsky.social website, and read a bit about the forthcoming book - highly recommend you do the same; it looks deeply fascinating!

Just tipped over the 70k mark on my #WIP, which will be #23 (solo) or #26 if you count my co-writes. It's still the biggest milestone to me, knowing I'm on the downhill slide home towards the 100k I aim for, and that now I can start pulling at all the threads to tie them together! #booksky

Wondering if I can take classes in how to be the squeaky wheel. Bit fed up with being the good, quiet one, rolling along at the back, but nature has carved me this way. Going to start squeaking at some point... whether that will result in the oil or the bonfire is anyone's guess.

Had an insanely busy day, but just had to carve a bit of time out to review this fantastic book, by Sheelagh Aston. Privileged to have read an early draft, as well as the completed novel, and I can tell you this is one writer to be on the lookout for!

(As the page states, it doesn't make you a member of the class, but it gathers data so you will be informed. I think this is OK and sensible to do.)

Looks like the John Miller brigade is out in full force on IG.

I haven't heard yet, but it'd be a massive surprise if it didn't happen!

My junk mail is now talking to itself... Seems to be taking a while to answer itself though.

I'm halfway through a sequel to a book that hasn't yet got a home, and wondering what the hell I'm doing this for! BUT - I love the way this story is unfolding, and how the family dynamics are splintering, and re-forming in new and unexpected shapes, so I'm going to push on and see where it takes me

Domain currently acting the silly bugger, so if you're trying to reach me by email for work purposes, please DM me on any of my socials and I'll give you an alternative address. Thanks!

Argh! Website is currently down as I try to figure out this DNS stuff for transferring my domain to my new one. Normal service hopefully resumed soon.

I just wanna be writing this booook!

So, I thought 🤔 I'd have a go at a book 📚 trailer and after a lot of work 😰 I came up with one. I'm rather pleased with it. 😀🥂

Yep! I was constantly going, 'ooh, it's her!' Oh, it's HIM!' (and there was no one else watching with me! 😂)

Watched the first 3 episodes of #Bookish last night, but a 6.15 alarm for this morning meant I had to stop there. Been waiting for this for ages, and I'm LOVING IT!

I think Wimbledon has done me another favour. Realised I had 2 weeks' worth of #Corrie to catch up on; recognised the resultant feeling as dismay rather than pleasant anticipation; hey presto: CURED! Phew, that's a weight off - no more rage-watching! I'll carry on with the classics though :)

I might be being over-sensitive*, but I think this is a massive bloody cheek, from Ticketmaster! No, you can't visit our page, but we'd love your permission to shove our spam down your gullet! 😂

What on earth's the point of Sky TV putting an ad for the programme I'm watching, IN the ad break for the programme I'm watching? All it did was fool me into prematurely stopping fast-forwarding past the... ah! Well played, Sky 😂

Terri Nixon @nixonauthor.bsky.social · Jun 14

So, so thrilled with all the wonderful, positive reviews this series has received, over the course of this 3-book #blogtour with @zooloosbt.bsky.social. Heartfelt thanks to all concerned, and to @shelleyclarke.bsky.social for choosing me to help write her incredible story!
