My WIP has two possible settings, my home town in Aus, or a made up town in Washington State and I'm rather torn. It's an urban fantasy, there's a ghost, water is a huge theme, and either setting could be fun, fish out of water or home that feels changed.
Thoughts? #writing #writingproblems

Ah New Years.
If 2025 isn't better than the year that was, I am punching a deity in the face.
Is this a threat? Am I just engaging in the Norse practice of boasting?

I don't think we wanna find out.

In the meantime, be safe, be well, I've got books to write.

Oooh new ink day. Always a good day when it's new ink day.

Race between the clock between my 9am therapy phone appointment and my packet of curry noodle soup on the stove.
I had a craving.

Shortbread is out of the oven and cooling. The cheeky nibble I had was rather delicious. #omnomnom #baking

Also wish me luck, I'm gonna try making shortbread.

I've never had to cite consumer law to a damn business but here we are.

It is officially too hot during the day to keep my normal goblin hours. I am tired, and all is ick.
Except for cats. Cats are good.

If you don't emerge from the writing cave giddy and potentially covered in ink, are you even doing it right?
Writing is supposed to be fun. Just #write. First drafts especially, don't require all the fussy perfectionism of a polished, published novel. First drafts don't have to be good. They just have to exist. #WritingTips #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #FirstDrafts

Silver lining, I can now eat the delicious satay chicken waiting for me and tackle the book outline that's staring at me.

Today I learned that saying "Thanks for the order number, can have my receipt now, as required by consumer law" is rude enough to get hung up on.
Which is weird cos if I did that in my last CS job, I would've been written up.
(it did get solved but im never buying there again)

In bad news, insomnia.
In good news, writing.

Two for my urban fantasy project. There's the MCs father who died tragically and shapes a lot of their arc and future. And then there's the girl the MC tries to save, falls off a bridge and haunts her until she's avenged. :D
#HorrorWritersChat Question 3

Tell us about a character in your story who is no longer alive. Did their demise have any impact on the plot? Were they related to other characters? Bonus points if they're still around causing trouble as a zombie or ghost!

Quote repost and don't forget the hashtag!

Hiya #horrorwriterschat I'm Cas or Cassandra and I write a lot of things, but horror is a common thread in all of them. A little bit of spice if you will. Writing wise I've been working on a short story about getting fired and zombies, and planning my novel projects. :3
#HorrorWritersChat question 1:

Introduce yourself: tell us who you are, what you write, and what you've been up to this week writing-wise.

P.S. Don’t forget to include the tag when reposting!

Hi I'm Cas, and I have a wee short story that might become a whole book that uses a Pagoda from Expo 88 in Brisbane as a meeting place between a detective and a very unexpected witness to a gruesome murder. Said witness being a ghost. #horrorwriterschat
#HorrorWritersChat question 2:

Describe a time when you used a real setting in a horror work, or a time one of your story settings was based on a real place.

P.S. Don’t forget to include the tag when reposting!

(and that's me out, Louise @moonlitwriting.bsky.social is doing the other two Qs)

Okay my ire has been soothed by a delicious burrito, now to write this cyberpunk zombie short story thing. #writing

Rewatching the early days of @criticalrole.bsky.social. How far they've come, how much they've achieved and still the biggest delight is just watching them have fun.
