Sometimes, the most reliable way to make progress is to be unambitious.I started the month ambitiously – working on the Bobbyfox thing – but then a succession of events (including searching out a plumber, randomly exploding tempered drinking glasses, and more!) led to things being quite disrupted. Hanging onto ambition, under these circumstances, would have… Continue reading Enduring November

Just a quick heads up - I have, in previous bloggy things, mentioned being invited to contribute to an anthology? Well, the anthology is out today, featuring a totally radical shared-universe secondary world, with its history, cultures, art, maps, and a few short stories too. (One of which is by yours truly.)Please do check it… Continue reading New thing – World of Juno anthology!

I have new glasses. Almost the same as the old glasses, just... ever so slightly better. The main thing is they aren’t scratched – the old glasses? The old glasses were old.So, what new things have I seen? Ghosts, goblins, all that, sure, but also a plan, which we will get to.The thing about making… Continue reading October Spectre-cles.

The panel I mentioned can now be watched whenever you like, as it has been archived on twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1635690040Be forgiving, I don't do live stuff like this very often!A twitter thread with a few links relevant to the panel can be found here: https://twitter.com/foozzzball/status/1585625441213108226

For those of you interested, this weekend I'm giving the panel 'New Writing Projects, Motivation, and Staying Organised' at Oxfurred Comma, a furry writing-focussed online con, and you'll be able to watch it live (and possibly recorded, after).It's built on some notes I've been keeping for a possible writing advice book I may one day… Continue reading I’m giving an online panel! (Sunday, 12 Pm PDT/8 Pm BST)

Hello!It’s been quite the historic month over here. We’ve moved from the second Elizabethan era to the second (third? It’s complex) Carolean era in this neck of the woods, Ukraine performed a lightning counteroffensive to liberate a huge amount of territory around Kharkiv, the current Tory government managed to crash the pound into a crater,… Continue reading A September Of Ergonomics

The month rolls to an end, and as climate change disasters shift the seasons around – due to extremely dry conditions here after that heatwave we’ve got something some people are calling a false autumn, trees losing leaves and all – I reflect how lucky I am to have you here, interested enough in my… Continue reading August. (AIgust? Alchemust?)

Where to start? It’s been a hot minute (or twelve) since I last did a proper monthly-ish bloggy update, and, wow, that heatwave over here was brutal. Not so much for the total temperature so much as the fact that locally it went from a high of like 24 Centigrade to 38 Centigrade (75 to… Continue reading June ran past July

Mouse Cage has, at last, been released!Details in the release thread on twitter: https://twitter.com/foozzzball/status/1547128112378429441And on my website: https://sinisbeautiful.com/mouse-cage/Mouse Cage is available in ebook and paperback from Amazon (US), (UK), or find it on Goodreads.

It may be June, but I have yet to properly notice. I have re-read Mouse Cage (doing proofing and other minor polish) three times in a little bit over a week. It is not a short book, and that is after doing nothing but hammer on this book for... I don’t know how long.I’m happy… Continue reading It May be June, but…
