Hi #writersky! My current main WIP is "The king-eaters' grief", a self-indulgent fantasy novel set in a 19th c set in the Cretaceous. It follows disillusioned ex-general Athanasios and furious single mother Hannelore as they reckon with war, justice, and redemption.

Tell me about yours!

This was a difficult scene to write. I am not genderfluid so writing how it feels to be so, especially without the modern terms and understanding was complicated. But it's part of what makes Henry who she is and I loved getting to show that.

I've made a bit of progress on this watercolour painting, today! It'd be nice to finish something again soon.

It's always a bit tricky to work traditionally with symmetry. I have to lean over the piece with a mirror to make sure things stay even!

Wren swore she’d never return to Fenholt, but her pesky conscience got the better of her. Again. Now she’s desperate to keep a cursed necklace out of a necromancer’s grasp while dodging her old thieving crew. But is she desperate enough to trust a handsome priest of the dead?

"Bow," one of the guards ordered when he didn't move.
"Or what? Would you execute me twice?" Athanasios just looked at the king, half a smile on his lips.

So much for her stupid plan. A few pints with her sister in peace and quiet. Turn herself in without fanfare once she’d said goodbye. Rest.

‘Sound’ (loud sound), ‘sound’ (safe and sound), and ‘sound’ (water) are not related.

‘Sound’ (loud) comes from Latin ‘sonus.’

‘Sound’ (safe and) comes from Old English ‘gesund,’ meaning "healthy."

‘Sound’ (water) comes from Old Norse ‘sund,’ meaning “strait."

Stop what you’re doing. Go into your Bluesky setting, click Accessibility and toggle on the setting that says ‘require alt text before posting’ and then you’ll *never* forget.

Beloved #pet: a #Roman burial of a #dog. The animal was buried with a vessel, its head was bedded on a piece of leather.

Even the Romans knew it: A life without #dogs is possible but pointless!

From Cologne, dating 1st AD.
