When you receive fan art… and it’s a scale model 😍😭 I can’t even. Thank you so much @tamkinnearswift.bsky.social

Okay, I need help…

A friend, whose opinion I trust, has read my book and encouraged me to submit to agents. Because it’s military SF he’s suggested I look in the US.

BUT I know nothing about US agents and his recs aren’t accepting subs right now. Does anybody have any recs for good US SF agents?

Just a gentle reminder to everyone who doesn’t know:

If you’re resharing a post or a meme, you are supporting it, amplifying it, spreading its message, and you will be taking responsibility for that. Whether the ensuing comments are negative or not.

Hey everyone! Meet @tamkinnearswift.bsky.social 🙂 he’s a great guy, modeller, writer, photographer, with a very cute dog, and he’s new to BlueSky! So go follow him 🚀♥️ I told him this is a good place since the other place went bad..

So that’s me being gently told “I’m about to go on important calls…” by my spouse… because I was singing Golden with my headphones on loud enough to carry up the stairs through two closed doors 😅🫣

You’ve got to feel for today’s teenagers… dressing up as The Avengers used to require a far smaller group… (travelling on Halloween is educational 😄)

As a Brit, I will never understand the excitement of US DIY influencers when they take off one layer of their wooden walls to reveal another layer of their wooden walls.

I saw one where a couple picked up their house… 👇

A bit of professional Emily - it’s a rare event so worth documenting 😄

So that’s BST over then. Guess we’re all condemned to the darkness now until Spring.

Seriously, when will we drop this nonsense?

Gents, as a 36 y-o woman I cannot begin to tell you how galling it is to be referred to as a “girl”.

And the fact that this will be met with derision (from some) is an inevitable consequence of suggesting that (most) men should do better.

Sharing this memory (child me) again because… literally nothing has changed 😅

Rewatching Breaking Bad and I think the weirdest most inhuman thing about the series — and this is saying something — is the fact that nobody hugs. There are, like, zero hugs.

I find that so weird.

Happy Monday everyone!
It’s pretty rainy here - I’m hoping for a break in the weather when it’s time for my evening walk! 🤞

Thanks to everyone who has listened to season 3 of The Dex Legacy. It's been a huge pleasure to work on this immersive story once again and I want to thank all our cast and crew but especially our wonderful creator and writer @emilyinkpen.bsky.social without whom none of this could happen.

Another milestone for our brave miniseries that just keeps on getting the downloads!
If you've not listened yet, search "Wasteland a Dex Legacy Story" in your favourite podcast app ("wasteland Dex" also works 😄)

Weekend feelings and S3 of Dex is out… and Wasteland has just reached another milestone... I’ll tell you, chaps, building your own IP is a lot of work 😅
The team has been amazing. Chris is the best creative partner and the cast is brilliant. I have so much gratitude.
I hope you’re all well ♥️

As the final episode of season 3 launches, I find myself in a strange emotional spot…

18 months of drafting, planning, Kickstarting, planning, directing, producing and releasing has concluded. All those episodes I’ve been looking forward to sharing… all those moments… are out there… 🧵👇
