Today started with a spider dropping on me from above in bed, so I guess I'll be thoroughly inspecting the ceiling every five minutes for the next week or so.

Shockingly came first in my round 1 group for @nycmidnight.bsky.social flash fiction despite being forced to write a comedy.

Now round 2 where I'm stuck with the slightly preferable but still very much out of my wheelhouse genre: thriller.

Good luck to anyone else taking part!

So @discord.com made me verify my age because of the new UK law. I opted to use the video selfie verification because it seemed easiest. Account instantly suspended for being under 13...

So yeah, I may not be on discord for a while.

The cats now only need a toy as motivation (as opposed to treats which somewhat negate the exercise they get).

I wish I had as much energy as Polly seems to

We got our cats an exercise wheel to help burn off some energy. They still need a little extra encouragement at the moment though

Overworked software developer with impossible clients decides that turning to literal witchcraft will be more chill. Even if her teacher is distractingly attractive she's heckled by the Statler and Waldorf of familiars.

Currently working on a story for the #GlobeSoup Flashback Fiction Competition and have changed my mind about where exactly the story starts at least ten times already. Apparently juggling two timelines makes me even more indecisive than normal #WritingCommunity

Having enjoyed the @nycmidnight.bsky.social Flash Fiction 1st round earlier this year, I figured I should probably give their 500-word Fiction Challenge a go nycmidnight.com/500

It's been a while since I posted any writing, so here goes...

Here is my micro thriller "Lessons of a Beekeeper" which I wrote back in November 2024 for a MicroFic challenge.

Lessons of a Beekeeper

Calliope seems to be having an existential crisis while melting. Can relate. #CatsOfBlueSky

Feels really weird to be writing about the run up to Christmas in my WiP while I'm actively struggling not to melt in the heat.

When it's too hot to cook, it's time for houmous and crudités.

My lazy lunch that I can still trick myself into thinking of as healthy.

Why does it feel like they're plotting something? #CatsOfBlueSky

My favourite pictures of the cats always end up being when they're in goblin mode.

The two black cats are sisters (Calliope and Clio) and the two torties are mother and daughter (Polly and Thalia). All as mental as each other.

Spent this afternoon getting into the festive spirit with a wreath making workshop at a local vegan tea room. We're waiting until the storm passes to hang it so the weather doesn't destroy our work (not that we don't trust the sturdiness of our creation or anything 😅).

Pick a movie, keep one actor m the rest are Muppets.

Pride and Prejudice. Matthew Macfadyen (or Colin Firth) as Mr Darcy being the only human.

Kermit and Miss Piggy are definitely Lizzie's parents. I leave the rest of the casting to the imagination.
Pick a movie, keep one actor. The rest are muppets.

the Matrix. Keanu can stay.

I just want to see Miss Piggy karate chop people as Trinity
Pick a movie, keep one actor. The rest are muppets.

Bronson, keep Tom Hardy (maybe)

It's that time of year where I feel like I should plug this again, an anthology full of festive stories featuring our furry friends. My story features Mr Meowy acting as an inadvertent match maker for two young women away from home for the holidays #WritingCommunity
Hello all! I’m excited to say that my cozy, wholesome story "Leading the Way" — a festive sapphic romance told from the point of view of an adopted pet cat — has been published in Camden Park Press’s "Tidbits & Tinsel Tails" as part of their "Holiday Hijinks" series.
