Obsessulated 🩷💚

I was in the room where it happens

As burnout edges nearer, Erin survives by magically discarding her unwanted emotions. When her boyfriend plans a future that feels suffocating, Erin fakes delight. But if she can embrace her feelings and her autism, she might find a life she loves enough to live without a mask. #DVPit #ND #R #SFF

Humans grow protective exoskeletons in response to negative emotions.
Hers grows internally; crushing her organs. His is terrifyingly over-reactive.
Believing they're freaks who should be shunned is easy. Loving themselves seems impossible, but a chance meeting might change that… #DVPit #ND #R #SFF

The exciting times of putting this in my StoryGraph "to read" section (even if it's not out in UK for a little while longer)

And that's the pitches sent! #PitchDis, you've been a blast!

#PitchDis day 21 mood board time part 2!

The World We Make is white. Crisp and clean and the possibility of starting over. New life, fresh growth, blank slates just waiting to be written on. Comforting soft wool and fresh linens.

#PitchDis day 21 - anything else? Aka mood board time!

Skin Deep I feel is very red. The colour of pain and explosion and hatred...but also of love and warmth and passion.

No better way to deal with deep rage than going to the gym and smashing some weights

#PitchDis day 7 - favourite spot to write. I'm boring but I love writing at my desk, with my cheery yellow wall, my collection of pops and other random objects, and my Parks and Rec quote poster. But my favourite places to think of ideas are the gym or while cycling!

Always a wonderful feeling to submit! Despite despairing at the genre assignment, I have to say I rather adore my story in all its darkness!
Thanks @nycmidnight.bsky.social for pushing me out of comfort zone as always!

Spent today in my happy place - watching live theatre! Full circle moment re-watching the first West End show I saw as a child, but now grown up with my own child sat beside me. There is just something so magical about theatre that I'd see one daily if I could!

One of the delights of motherhood is getting to re-read some of my favourite books from childhood as bedtime stories. Just started this tonight and remembering how much I wanted to be the Fossils. #BookSky #Reading #MumLife

It's rare to find time to write over the summer holidays, but today the plan is to get chapter seven drafted. He thinks it's a date. She thinks it's an interrogation. What could possibly go wrong? #RomanceAuthors #AmWriting #Novel

As a sunshine/grumpy lover, this pleases my soul #BookSky #JaneAusten #RomanceTropes #SunshineGrumpy

The gym is perfect empty head space, and the calf press machine will always be one of my favourites #ThisGirlCan #LadiesWhoLift #CalvesOfSteel
