Fashionably Late Introduction Post!
Hi! I'm an aspiring Sci-Fi fi author and I'm queer, disabled, and living in the UK.
I'm currently writing my debut about an alien who has to go on the run from a shadowy government agency trying to experiment on them. And there's space dragons.

As a kid I read a lot of my Dad's classic sci-fi and I ended up with Robert Heinlein as my favourite author

Whenever I can I try buy some of his books on 2nd hand sites as most are out of print these days

Accountability post - I planned to do 7 task blocks/pomodoro's of writing last week, and I achieved 6, despite a migraine! Next week is really tight and busy, so, we'll see what happens. I already hit my November goal (15k words) so anything else is gravy from here on out. 💙📚🪐 #writing

I'm one of these two, I think... I'm not quite organised enough for the Lawful, but I can't stand doing things out of order

It me! (Trying to remember to take more pics of my various hair colours) #selfie

MC: Discovers they have electrokinesis, almost killing thier love interest in the process (don't worry, he's chill with it)

MC one week later: hey, what happens if I poke a lightning storm with this newfound ability?

Good news! - I have hit my 15K word count goal for November!

Concerning news - unless I find some serious chunks to delete in upcoming chapters, this manuscript is NOT going to be 100k words #writing 💙📚🪐

Sometimes writing advice is very geared towards full time authors

"Don't go on social media until after you've done some writing in a day" we can discuss whether I've got a social media addiction or not, valid, but the *earliest* I've ever been able to write on a work day is 5pm if I'm WFH (1/4)

Why is my work self better at sending emails than my home self?

Accountability post - I planned to do 12 task blocks/pomodoro's of writing last week, and I achieved 12! My previous record task blocks in one week was 9! This week is a lot busier and has started with a migraine, so I'm setting my sights lower this week. #writing 💙📚🪐

I think the worst part of the writing process (first draft, editing, rewrites) is... whatever part you're currently on

Look at these pages I found in the back of the book I was reading last week... specifically look at the prices of the book 😲😢... this edition published 1968 #books #Sci-Fi 💙📚🪐

Accountability post - Last week I wrote about I **think** (thought) my record task blocks in one week is (was) 8, this I planned to do 8 task blocks/pomodoro's of writing last week, and I achieved **9**! 😎🥳📝 #writing 📚💙🪐

I always forget that, for most people, my WIP would probably count as queer because the MC's non-binary and pansexual, and has both male & female relationships, and one of thier friends is asexual. I also forgot that it has romantic subplots. To me its just a Sci-Fi book. With Space Dragons.

When I was exploring NaNo alternatives for November, one of the sites informed me that at my current speed it would take me 7 months to complete my draft. I don't care if that's "mathematically accurate", what did I do to deserve being attacked like that? #writing 💙📚🪐

If we want the rewards of being loved (on social media) we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known (on social media)

So far in November, for my goal of writing 500 words per day (15k in a month), after three days I've written 1,824 words, so off to a strong start #writing 💙📚🪐

Accountability post - I planned to do 10 task blocks/pomodoro's of writing last week, and I achieved 6! I **think** my record task blocks in one week is 8, so I'm not too upset by this. I think I'm going to try set a November writing goal of 15k words (my monthly record for 2025 is 13.9k words)

I'm seeing so many different NaNoWriMo replacements on my feed. I've never done NaNoWriMo but I'm starting to get a bit FOMO about it all 😅 but now there are too many options and I'm overwhelmed lol

Fun about me: I can solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute. That's not as impressive as it sounds, some people can solve it under 10 seconds. Its a party trick, really. There's a formula, and I memorised it.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Now if I understand this holiday correctly - Halloween candy is for us, the adults, to spend all day eating, yes? #Halloween

Born to write, forced to process forms in an office job.

The problem with "write every day" advice is that I have a full time job and I'm disabled. Every time I take half an hour to write, that's half an hour not doing chores, doing pet care, taking care of myself, etc. I'd love to write every day. #writing 💙📚🪐

Accountability post - I planned to do 7 task blocks/pomodoro's of writing last week, and I achieved 7! My plan for next week is very ambitious (10 task blocks/pomodoro's) but I have a day of Annual Leave from work so in paper it seems doable... #writing 💙📚🪐

Sometimes my brain gives me ideas for fantasy books that I will never write. Luckily, my partner is a fantasy author, so they can have all of my rejects 😝
