Here are my thoughts...

I've got 2 eps in this- River, Ace, Tegan, together at last! Explosions, timey shenanigans, explosions, bad manners, explosions, arguments, and some explosions! Not necessarily in the right order! I am GIDDY that I got to write for these legends! Pre-order now! www.bigfinish.com/news/v/river...

I'm thinking about writing an ultimate guide to the Ninth Doctor audios as an ongoing series of posts, where I do a deep dive on each individual episode, its production and (where possible) interview members of the creative team. Does that sound interesting to anyone?

What's quite fun is reading Fifteenth Doctor novels, but imagining that they're describing William Hartnell. #DoctorWho

Whenever I feel like I’ve never accomplished anything or that I’ve completely failed as a writer, I remind myself that I wrote for David Warner as the Doctor. How many other people have had that opportunity? Even Steven Moffat and RTD never did that.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

I looked at the 2024 wave of Target novelisations and asked the inevitable question: what are they even for?

(Spoiler: many things, but mostly good stories)
