Research Ireland had an event running this weekend called Museum of the Moon for #ScienceWeek.
Essentially they installed a huge rotating illuminated full moon in Merrion Square.
It was a very good moon.

📚 You played... we listened!
We've made tweaks based on feedback to make the game even more fun (and, dare we say it, perhaps a little easier...).
As always, we'll let you know when you're close – just don't forget to check your spelling! 🔍

I've changed the structure on this WIP a couple of times and it seems I've written mostly first and third act.
This last stretch of adding key scenes is basically just me going back and writing all the missing second act parts that make the third act, which I wrote first, make sense. #writing

Writing 50,000 words in November isn't a good goal for me this year - BUT I am almost finished my first draft of the WIP and the other day I sat down and wrote a list of the key scenes I still need to write. The ones that will make the story skeleton stay standing.

Reading a fantasy novel called Derring-Do for Beginners by @victoriagoddard.bsky.social and it's an exceptional level of world building and detail. I've started taking notes as I'm reading. I've highlighted whole sections.

At this point I have parts of my WIP written in a Notes app, a Word doc and scribbled in notebooks and random pages here and there.
Just wondering if there's any easy way to convert the handwritten pages rather than transcribe them - but looks like my options are LLMs or Premium.

Went to see A Big Bold Beautiful Journey this weekend, and it's not a perfect movie but I loved it. My favourite film I've seen in the cinema in the last few years.
It's not quite Eternal Sunshine, but it's near Eternal Sunshine.
It's also, at times, deeply funny.

Just finished playing Wanderstop on Steam. What a delightful cosy tea-making game about an inescapable universe-mandated mental health break. Gorgeous visuals. Strangest gardening mechanics I've ever seen.

This is from the same bot creator who runs Endless Screaming and now also Salient Political Commentary.
Just wanted to share because it's my new favourite thing. Tiny mundane updates from a wizard about their wizard breakfasts and wizard friends.

The wizard sleeps deeply. A breeze stirs the branches of the trees outside the wizard's window.

I wrote a line today that made me properly laugh out loud.
There's a long long long way to go yet, but I think this book could, maybe, potentially be good.
The WIP is a #fantasy novel but it's light enough that there should be some laughs.

WIP update - just hit 50 thousand words!!
And I'm still really enjoying writing this book. I can't wait to finish this draft so I can start edits. There's so much to fix but I'm trying to just keep going and get it finished.

Hi! I love Bluesky but I rarely post.
However.
I'm writing a book, and I'd love to find a writing community to chat to about the whole process. And to vent when I get stuck or the characters go rogue.
So that's what this account is for now! Writing updates and process notes and venting.

We went from €6,000 to €7,000 yesterday and I have no idea why.
I think it might be from here.
If Bluesky people step in and help us raise a fortune for this that would be an actual Xmas miracle.
