I've posted my first strange book review over on Substack (link in bio).

Tomorrow, I'm leading a workshop called 'Writing Immersive Fight Scenes'. #WritingCommunity What are some of your favourite fight scenes in books?

I'm having a second go at using X because I want to talk to people about writing and books. #WritingCommunity do any of you know any good hashtags I should be aware of for finding book lovers and writers? I've been out of the loop for a year.

@LMD_Author @CymeraF I'm glad you made it along :)

Desperately trying to wake up for the fight training zoom meeting today! Haha @JHoltonWriter @CymeraF #Booktwt #fantasywriting

Excellent readings at a lovely bookshop! Well done all!

Tomorrow, I'll be reading some stories involving badger folklore and tarot symbolism at @lostinleithbar alongside some fantastic other acts! Would be great to see you there.

@anitagovan @lostinleithbar @andycatlincom @EventbriteUK @scranpress @TheLeither @LuathPress @scottishbktrust @InterrobangEdin @WhatsOnStage Can't wait!

@RhiannonAGrist @Writers_Bloc_UK @CymeraF Thanks @RhiannonAGrist. It's a fun one to run!

If you're writing fight scenes, then you NEED to check out this workshop. @JHoltonWriter (writer & ex-MMA fighter) ran it for @Writers_Bloc_UK last year and I took tonnes of notes. Online and an in-person sessions available at this year's @CymeraF cymerafestival.co.uk/cymera2024-eve…

Very excited to be returning to read at Lost in Leith this month eventbrite.com/e/lost-in-leit…

Great issue for a great price! Contains a story of mine involving Gene Kelly, an axe, and a nasty accident with a zip.

@RhiannonAGrist @argonaut_books @writerlynds @RussJonesWrites Looking forward to it!

Hello! I'll be reading at this FREE alt fringe event at @argonaut_books next Friday (25th) at 4pm alongside the wonderful @writerlynds and @RussJonesWrites (I believe Lyndsey will be reading from her latest novelette HYDOYQ so don't miss that!) argonautbooks.co.uk/product/event-…

@parsonharlequin Ali, I'm expecting your version of a Barbenheimer to be watching both films at exactly the same time with the sound replaced with screams and white noise.

Me and @CrushMouse have been swinging nunchuks and giving no fucks since the 90s. youtube.com/watch?v=XAXACC…

@andycatlincom @ScienceMagazine @DLabMelbourne I would have opted for the pain to find out how much of it scientists are allowed to inflict -- dunno whether that counts as useless info or not...

Headline of the Day: "Humans will trade pain for useless information". And this is why we can't have nice things. @ScienceMagazine reports on @DLabMelbourne research: science.org/content/articl…

These are my outlook targeted ads. Microsoft is correct that I want to wear all these things at once.

@ryanjjvance Been thinking about this too after getting honked for wearing jazzy trousers. I reckon some folks see their cars like an extension of their house and therefore feel like everything on the road is happening in their personal space.

@MisraSonali I've got those same socks. 10 out of 10!

Please join me in admiring my brogues-and-sock combo

Out today! #SpellSounds is a #poetry #spokenword and #soundscape series evoking #landscape and place. Today we explore sea and shore with #writers @anna_chorlton @writerlynds @JHoltonWriter + more with readings by @TiffanyEclair + @SallyWTvoice buzzsprout.com/411730

For those who appreciate fine music and/or are intrigued to see what I look like as a death metal backing dancer, here's a new @CrushMouse song: youtube.com/watch?v=p4dGiF…
