I've been slacking off on my writing recently, but I'm working on a short story right now that I'm really enjoying. The process that works best for me seems to be:
1) Come up with an incredibly stupid title
2) Write a story around it

Future Fish is ridiculous and hilarious fun tinged with a surprising amount of affection. We always root for the underdog loser, and main character Mark is exactly that.
I’m buying this conspiracy theory laden romp by @conorsneyd.bsky.social for a friend who takes themselves far too seriously

Me and my boyfriend adopted a cat today. I wish I could share a photo, but he's currently hiding out behind a pile of laundry ☹️

The book I'm currently writing features an extremely sassy Frenchman, and I've just realised he's basically Michel from the Gilmore Girls 😁

'Geek Love' by Katherine Dunn
I first read this back in 2005. For some reason, I was expecting a light, quirky comedy (Zooey Deschanel movies were all the rage at the time). Instead, I found something shocking and disgusting and absolutely brilliant 😁

I hope all the book bloggers/ reviewers out there know how much their work means to us indie authors. I was really struggling with motivation this evening, and then I came across a lovely review of Future Fish, and it fully lifted my spirits 🙂

I'm about halfway through 'The Light Fantastic' and enjoying it more than 'The Colour of Magic'. My favourite character so far is definitely the librarian - I remember him being featured in some of the later books, but I never knew his full origin story before 😁
A few months ago, I decided to read through all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels in the order they were published. I finished the first one, 'The Colour of Magic', and then got distracted by other things on my to-be-read list.
Today, I'm finally starting #2 - 'The Light Fantastic'!

Hello #authors / #writingcommunity (are hashtags even a thing on here?🤷)
I've just joined Bluesky and would love to make some friends so I don't look like a total loner.
I'm an Irish author of funny fiction featuring hapless gay protagonists. My debut novel Future Fish came out earlier this year.
