Back in the saddle after a busy couple of weeks at work. Where was I? A yes, a skeleton with no eyes rolling his eyes... #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

It's the 25th Anniversary of Evelyn Smythe first appearing in 'Doctor Who.'

3 observations from a relisten:

1. This was a golden age of 'Who' that cemented @oldsixie.bsky.social as my favourite Doctor.

2. 25 years?? The TV show only lasted 26!!

3. She's 55?? But "elderly?" Rude.

Wait, you mean they just flat out lied about that?? Who could possibly have even begun to suspect! 😉

No exodus to state sector after VAT added to private school fees, say English councils
Most say they have seen no impact on applications for year 7 places, despite warnings from those against policy

I watched a video of an octopus ambushing a shark as research. Now I can never go in the sea again. Or sleep. #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

I don't know how many of you have considered revising the first 4 chapters of your novel whilst a 12 year old stands next to you relating what's happening in a murder mystery game app they are playing in real time, but the option's there if you want it! #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Do you ever have those days where you spend the morning googling how to break into a car then worry how "It was important research for my novel" will stand up in court? #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Thought I'd write on the train, but there were no tables, not even the flip down trays on the backs of seats. It's a replacement bus on the return journey! (Plans story about being trapped in a primitive past). #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Brain: "There's going to be a shock revelation about one of the characters and the other carries on alone." Writing: "Surprise! It was the OTHER character when it happened!" #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Do you think when I get blocked for a couple of days my characters just lie around like the toys in Toy Story? #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

I'm not feeling very well. On the one hand, ugh! On the other hand, is there a way of using this in the novel? #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Gosh darn it, if I'm finding doomscrolling more attention grabbing than my writing my novel, what can I expect the readers to think?? #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Like Jane Austen, I stick to what I know in my writing. Well, I had to search "Do dead bodies decay in space," but other than that. #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Did some excellent research today. "What are those paddles called they use in canoes? Oh. Paddles." Should I site my sources? #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

I didn't write today and therefore have to abandon the entire novel and retire to obscurity! #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

"A single golden spark shot out from where her brain should have been, and fizzed into nothing as it hit the damp concrete." Didn't see that coming when I started! #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunity

Had an idea for a novel, then wrote 11,000 words in January! That seems like good going. And I'm much better informed about how an abseiling belay works.

Presumably there will be reporters outside ever school in Britain today to capture the moment that private school students fleeing the VAT rise utterly overwhelm the state system. Unless they were lying about that happening for months...

The banker thinking it's unfair if he faces the same risk as everyone else is such an "emerging from 14 years of Tory rule" vibe. #TheTraitors

Louise Haigh resigning? I thought you were supposed to say "It wouldn't be appropriate to comment during an ongoing internal review" until everyone gave up and forgot about it!

I'm not saying journalism is dead, but do we just say a bad thing is happening because "landlords" now without finding out who they are and getting a (no) comment?

If that was Storm Bert, I'm dreading Storm Ernie. He was always putting his rubber duckies first!
