I thought that an external keyboard would boost my novel writing productivity, so I bought this on Vinted for £4.

I'm pretty certain we won't reach 1000 hours outside this year (probably any year!) BUT every one of these coloured squares represents an hour of family time where all four of us were in nature together. No screens. Just the sky and us. I know we'll reap the benefits of that!

The weather has taken a turn for the chilly, and with that I've got a hankering for a different type of read… a book that starts with a map! Who recognises this one?

Story prompt in the wild! I spotted this CD of 20 Romantic Classics by the side of the road... maybe like it had been thrown out of a car window?

How true do you think it is that a traditional publisher won't consider taking on an author unless they have a big social media following? Here I am with my 200-ish Bluesky followers wondering if I should be platform building instead of drafting!
