I've done some searching and couldn't find any starter packs for Welsh and Wales-based speculative fiction people. So, I thought I'd try my hand at creating one. If you'd like to be included, give me a nudge.

I was watching a video about an author who uses AI, and one of the things that stood out to me was how she talked about writing to market and how, as an author, writing what you want takes a backseat to the market when you get "serious" about it, and I vehemently disagree. 🧵

Just finished reading Sisters of the Crimson Vine by @authorplm.bsky.social, a deliciously creepy & evocative folk horror novella that really felt like midsummer in the middle of winter, and also made me really miss wine.
Plus sexy nuns, if that's your jam.

It's my birthday today. I've reacted an age that a much younger Karlo could not have conceived of being, and yet here we all are
If you want to celebrate, don't worry if you've not brought a gift - just do me a favor and:
1) read something new
2) let the author know how much you liked reading it

a) Fuck this homophobic bullshit

Just read a BBC article about thieves who targeted gay men using Grindr. They threatened and humiliated their targets, hoping they'd be too ashamed to report the crimes.
The blatant homophobia used by
lawyers in court about the victims is really awful! It basically reads as 'they deserved it'!

I'll be honest: this year has mostly felt like a zero-progress slog in terms of getting my writing out there. But I did publish a handful of things, and I'm gonna list them here so I don't forget about them.
