This weeks unfinished story is baaarely a story at all. A skateboard left alone for years in a community allotment in Amsterdam — if I was a painter I think this idea would have thrived more, but tally ho.

Third week of half-baked tales (!!!) and it’s a special one. Pulled from my 10-year-old-writing-in-their-room era (I know y’all did it too). It’s magic, it’s YA, and it’s potentially going nowhere but it WAS 20 years in the making!

Half-Baked Tale #3 - Jameison & Finnegan
Two children, born to magic in a condemning world, meet on the cusp of an empire-destroying battle.

Second Half-Baked tale posted to my Substack — goal is to post one story a week!! Thinking this weeks could be developed to be a bit more gory, but maybe I just have Halloween on the brain. Lemme know what you think!

Book #9 of 2025, decided to get a taste for #SarahMariaGriffen in prep for #EatTheOnesYouLove and this hopeful, dystopian sci-fi delivered. Walked around Edinburgh in a hypnotized state listening to Nell in Julian’s lab #IYKYK. Class narrators on the audiobook too

Book #8 of 2025. Watched a TikTok clip of the movie and then refreshed myself on this classic. Heart wrenching, with themes still poking my mind at 30s as they did at 10. Winnie didn’t harbor safe that little bottle, she gave it to the toad. What would I do with mine?

Book #6 of 2025… did anyone else anticipate a twist where the MC, after spending 80 days eating shit and not showering, actually turns out to be Ozu?

Book #5 of 2025 — such an imaginative and beautifully crafted world, but for me lacked in depth of character and story. Id rather it had gone way bigger, or left much more unsaid. #watermoon by #samanthasottoyamboa

Saw a @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social poster at a pub in #Glasgow then read this fake headline (used as wallpaper in the toilet) in his voice. #BlindBoy, give us a hot take bout consumerism and wedding debt

Third book of 2025. There’s a hen with a demon inside her, I’d like to know if she’s immortal. If I were a demon trapped in a hen, I’d be pretty content.
