Just coming up the end of a marathon writing session - a short story and a commentary for my MA. I ache everywhere, even my eyeballs. What is this compulsion that makes some ppl obsessed with words 🤷♀️

NEVER buy a book written by AI. If you buy one you create a market and therein lies the slippery slope to a soulless creative desert while simultaneously making some fucker very rich (clue- it’s not a writer).

Watched half of 1st episode of #playingnice but not impressed. As if baby-swops wasn’t a dramatic enough subject to explore, it followed the path of endless current dramas by ignoring character development and creating a ludicrous and convoluted plot with more holes than Steptoe’s socks.

Just finished watching #Lockerbie It really is a tough watch but worth it. The quest for justice by the father of one of the victims is heartbreaking and inspiring. Fascinating legal battle and the politics behind it all just gobsmacking. Colin Firth does a grand job as usual.

I’m just about to start this. I read and loved Oranges are not the Only Fruit years ago followed by the extraordinary Sexing the Cherry back on the 90s. No idea why I’ve left it so long for more Jeanette Winterson. #writingcommunity #amwritingfiction #litfic #womenwriters #literaryfiction

I don’t know if it’s the script, the story, or Mark Rylance’s brilliant acting but it was heartbreaking watching Cromwell’s downfall in #TheMirrorAndTheLight #WolfHall Utterly brilliant series.

It’s so sad that I’ve had to turn my DMs off because of scammers and weirdo men. I joined Twitter in the early days and had some really positive interactions with people on DM. Now it’s just a sewer. It was a matter of time before they came to Bluesky so watch out for them folks. #writingcommunity
