I was reminded about book trailers earlier today and remembered I did a book trailer for Trollgrave! I don't think I ever cut it to size for social media (just YouTube) so I thought why not do it now??

My task this week is to reread what I have so far of Part 1 of my WIP, make notes, ease myself back into the right headspace so I can move on. I did chapter 1 in my lunchbreak and immediately texted a friend with "damn, this is good, or at least the first scene is." I think I'm on the right path.

Yikes. Being vulnerable sucks. But if there is one thing that had become clear, it's that I need to learn how to stop repressing myself (mostly my inner personality), because I've been doing it for so long that even I don't know who I am anymore, and that's not fun.

Putting out personal posts are always equal measure cringe and fun, because there is always at least one person who goes "don't be an idiot". Obviously not with those words and delivered in a much nicer way, but like, makes you realise that you are shit at reading signs and have to be told things.

It's been a while since I shared a deeply personal post, and as I just came home from World Fantasycon 2025, that gave me an opportunity to do some self-reflection. And so, here we go. Some good, some bad, and a lot of lovely pictures await you!

Well, the good news is, I don't have to buy a new phone. The bad news is that I need to pay for a new back panel *sigh* At least that's a significantly smaller cost which I'm not too mad about, but still a cost I did not expect this year. Oh well. Upwards and onwards or whatever.

I randomly typed out 1.1K words this morning about some of my feelings regarding Fantasycon, so I might as well make a post out of it 🤔

I wasn't planning to talk about my WIP a lot in public until I felt somewhat confident about it happening - i.e. being able to finish. On the other hand, it seemed like a fine idea to actually mention it to a few people in Brighton that I was working on a novel. Now I have regrets, because PRESSURE.

I read a book that I really, really liked!
Review: The Gentleman and His Vowsmith by Rebecca Ide
This one popped up on my radar because one of my favorite authors wrote it and I didn't notice. >.> Look, I had cancer at the time and was a bit preoccupied. I GOT THERE THOUGH. Lord Nicholas Monterris, the last remaining heir of a crumbling ducal house, must marry to save his family from complete decline. His father chooses Lady Leaf Serral, eldest daughter of his greatest rival, at which point Nic is sure it can’t get any worse.

I spent pretty much all my free time in October working on some gift packages I delivered at FantasyCon. I thought I wouldn't want to do any of it anytime soon, but apparently I can't sit idly, and I also got jealous of the super cute bookmark so I'm making one for myself 😅🤷🏻♀️

I'm home safe and sound. Traveling went quite smoothly, so pleased with that. World FantasyCon was a bit of a mixed bag for me overall, but it was nice catching up with old friends, make new acquaintances, talk about my WIP publicly a bit, and see a bit of Brighton. Also books! And gifts!

Brag dopped, security done, drink and snacks acquired. And now we wait. This is my least favourite part of travelling. ALL. THE. FUCKING. WAITING. Argh. At least everything is on track so far, so there is that.

Who would have thought traveling on 4.5 hours of sleep isn't any much better than on 3 hours?! Such mystery. Much surprised. Ugh.

So, this morning I found out that the hair dryer in my room works. For about 5 seconds before it overhears or something and needs a 5 minute timeout to be able to work again. Thank fuck I got a haircut recently and doesn't need a lot of styling and stuff. 😅
