Doing more editing on the current work in progress/ novel today. Trying not to procrastinate too much. The game face is on. “Get yee behind me, you massive albatross of a novel!” I need to see it through…so I can start another one 🤣 #writinglife #ishouldbewriting

Here we go! The editing on my horror novel, title to be announced, due October.

saw an ad in my feed for an Ai app geared towards fiction writers. First of all, f*** off. Second of all, congratulations on developing something that no fiction writer wants or asked for. Pressing a button and having a machine spit out a story for you is not art or expression. Please stop.

REMEDY Is the latest novel by multi-award-winning, ex-pat Australian author, @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social . Imaginative, evocative, and sumptuously written. Well worth your reading.

I can’t believe I waited this long to see MANDY, the 2018 film directed by Panos Cosmatos and starring Nicholas Cage. What a trip! This film *was* like a cross between an acid trip and a heavy-metal video. I recommend it. It’s FANTASMA-GORE-IA.
