It's been a crazy few days with work and burnout, not to mention all the smoke in the air from the wildfires in Moray right now are seriously destroying my lungs. This picture was taken in my village today, thank god the rain finally came on this evening.

Canva--I use this to create book covers, and I also use it to make banners, posters, business cards, etc. You can use it entirely free and it's a good alternative to the likes of Photoshop. It's also mobile friendly. If you pay for Pro, you get more asset options.

I use Google Docs to write and format my pages. It's free, is an alternative to Microsoft Word that feels more user friendly, mobile friendly, and less glitchy, and is accessible on mobile.

One that most people might know: WordHippo. I use this to help me choose new words, new phrases, and new contexts without using things like AI to make suggestions. It also helps me rewire my brain sometimes.

Each section lets you input as much detail as you want about items or characters in lists and dropdowm boxes that are fully customisable. Best part is LoreForge is free, with a pro version that lets you host online for around £4 a month.

LoreForge is an alternative to Obsidian, that's a lot cleaner, more organised, and you can use it on mobile. I fully recommend it if you're building epics, fantasy, sci-fi, or any genre that requires major world building.

A thread where I show you the tools I use for writing.
I use LoreForge to construct and visualise my plot for my books. It also lets me link plot points to specific scenes as well as thread in plot beats across the work, link characterd, locations, items, etc. #WriteSky

Starting with the second installation in the Hornblower series; Lieutenant Hornblower by C. S. Forester. I already read the first book a few years back, and I've just had this series lying around waiting for me. #Booksky

Here's some old freewriting I did of a project that I had under development years ago--The Aviation Games. Groups of criminals are forced to compete in a race of fast jets and weaponry. Think Death Race meets Top Gun. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
