Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play.

It was a delight and the Elliot Bay Book Co has such a great space!
Last event from this weekend, I promise - @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social was kind enough to join me at the Elliott Bay Book Co, where we had far too much fun talking about villains and terrible research ideas. They've still got some signed copies if you stop by!

I ran into @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social who was so glad that I did. I forgot to tell her I recommended her book when talking about Isekai a few days earlier

I was in Seattle at #worldcon & glad the whole room booed. I am a big ASOIAF fan but also a person & so is George R.R. Martin (and clearly a person who loves Worldcon). Writers are people & that is no way to speak to a person. Before saying that shit, also consider: tomorrow is promised to no man.
breathtakingly horrible way to speak to anyone about their work and life. “welcome to seattle” shut the fuck up man!

Is all chaos with me as usual? I fear YES, but I am so excited to be in Seattle at @seattlein2025.org! So far I found a @seananmcguire.bsky.social & @hollyblack.bsky.social and an octopus drink.

Cat knew I was 100% sending Long Live Evil out in the world going ‘it shan’t be published but if it ever is while I’d love to write a sequel I never shall.’ The horrors I am fully ready to visit on readers… 😈😌
Yeah I was talking to CS Pacat about the book not long after it came out and I was like IT CAN'T END LIKE THAT and she was maintaining that it was a great ending. I GUESS I can acknowledge that it's a narratively elegant ending, but my HEART.

This is a big deal.
Stephen Fry is difficult to dismiss as a fringe figure. He's as middle-of-the-road establishment as they come - with the politics and long silence on this issue to match.
JKR and her fan club won't just be able to shrug this off.

Yes unfortunately Genre Fiction is not taken seriously as Art here. 💙📚
I am so proud of Ireland and its support of artists… but everything @oisinmcgann.bsky.social says is true, & there is also the question of who gets supported. To be perfectly transparent, I just got rejected for a bursary… yet I know I was the only Irish writer on several huge 2024 ‘best of’ lists.
I've written an article laying out my arguments for an extension of Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts. It crosses some of topics I've covered in other blogs, but I wanted to cover all these points in a single piece.
