As part of my planning activities for the rest of the Fyn Carter series, I have started to read ‘Fyn Carter and the Agents of Eromlos’ for the first time since it was released in May 2024!

I haven’t posted monthly goals for a little while, but now I’ve started planning Fyn Carter 3, I’m going to return to them to share the journey. I’m currently reviewing Fyn 1-2 to make clear notes I can more easily refer back to. Ginny is of course helping (she loves sitting on an open notebook).

I can hold off no more. It’s time to start a new notebook…

I wasn’t sure what to post for Halloween, but I found this pic yesterday that I’d taken a while ago, and it seems to fit the foot!

If you’ve been reading The Shoe Creeper in real time (or have already finished), you know it’s all about to kick off for Ethan and his friends!

There is a lot happening all around us all the time, taking up our mental capacity and sometimes weighing heavily on what we do in life. My advice is be kind to (and patient with) yourself in what you do, and enjoy your craft. If you enjoy it, it will show in your work too🥳 #kindnesswins #ukteenchat
