Sometimes writing, always a wanker.

Watched Tombstone the other night. A fantastic cast of moustaches with the weirdest romance sub-plot — is it adultery if your wife dies of an opium overdose off-screen?

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

My writing has fallen off massively during May due to day job reasons (I HATE working with footballers) but I’ve started Clair Obscur and it’s the type of game that MAKES me want to write more because it is *chef’s kiss*

I just need to put it down long enough to actually write

Working on a fitting novel chapter this Easter weekend about how my MC killed themselves repeatedly to explore their immortality

Moved to a new flat over the weekend and it really had me considering a more minimalist life when I was carrying the fortieth box of books up the stairs

I’m happy that it’s been renewed for season 3, but if Severance ended with that season 2 finale, I’d be more than satisfied

I saw Starlight Express tonight and I think it is the campest musical I’ve ever seen

Ready to talk to GQ about how the goblin under my bed gives me all my best ideas and why Star Wars socks are this season’s hottest accessory

V-Day watch with a curry has been The Gorge on AppleTV — took me by surprise how much they committed to the romance and the body horror

Would 100% recommend

Editing the first few chapters of my new project is a much-needed reminder that I can write to, at least, a secondary school level

I’m so glad Severance S2 is vaulting over the high bar S1 set — just a fucking fantastic show

Very hungover this morning so I’ve had to administer the secret poultice: a McMuffin and a bad coffee

Very quiet at work in the office at the moment and all I can think about is being at home, working on my WIP novel*

2024 Short Story Stats:

37 Submissions
36 Rejections
2 Acceptances

Pretty pleased with my year of writing, especially with the two acceptances (more about those soon 👀)

2025 is going to be less about short stories and more about the novel first draft — wish me luck 💪

Bad news: I’ve not done nearly enough writing as I’d hoped over Christmas

Good news: my Stardew Valley farm is looking fucking fantastic

New Wallace & Gromit was an utter joy — some absolute stellar jokes in there

At my in-laws for Christmas and desperately trying to finish the last parts of a novel outline

It is not going well…

And an assumed market closure/no response?

A slow-ish month! Everyone’s getting ready for the end of the year

Went to Phantom Peak again last night and was reminded almost immediately how much I love its dumb writing on the very first “quest” when a parody of “Live and Let Die” blasted from the video player

Why do I, a Brit, love Thanksgiving? Because all my American clients leave me alone for a week

How does every subsequent update for Spotify’s UI somehow make it worse to use?

I have several projects to work on in the evenings at the moment BUT Stardew Valley has been calling to me the past few nights like a siren to sailors and I’ve been jumping headfirst overboard

October Short Story Stats:

Submissions: 6

Suspicious that a few of the mags I’ve submitted to have gone MIA but that’s a problem for another month…
