I love when writers make magic so toxic that being in its presence is so unbearable and its felt on the body viscerally.

for about a week I thought the phrase was "pike up" instead of "pipe up" so my characters were just going "I would like to add something"

Here's a snippet that has survived draft 1 and 2 because it really captures the vibe of the seedy tavern where my mc works.

I'll have to find another victim book to keep practicing but I think it's a nice home for Arthur and Merlin given the original cover had faded in the sun.

I tried making my own book cloth and got creases when I attached the tissue paper, then I realised I had cut the fabric the wrong way so the pattern is horizontal.
Then the foiling pen wouldn't work on the fabric so I had to add some paper but the stencil moved so the letters aren't aligned.

My first rebinding attempt!!
This was pretty much for practice so it's a bit wonky.

This month's reading

I finally dived into T Kingfisher, picked up Santilla Chingaipe's book after hearing her speak at the Melbourne Writers Festival, and stumbled upon The Great Leveler in a secondhand shop.

Hi I'm a writer from Melbourne, Australia. I've dipped my pen into screenwriting, journalism, novels, short stories, and more. Currently, I'm working on my Greek Revolution inspired fantasy novel about the chosen one's less remarkable sister.
