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The panel I mentioned can now be watched whenever you like, as it has been archived on twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1635690040Be forgiving, I don't do live stuff like this very often!A twitter thread with a few links relevant to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

April may be over, but I have barely noticed.I am in the process of making final tweaks to the Mouse Cage manuscript. The book’s complete, but I have another two weeks before the last proofing pass, and I intend to use them.Can I tweak the opening for more emotional resonance? What happens if I try… Continue reading April May Be Over…

I’ve largely been keeping my head down while working on getting Mouse Cage ready. All my little paranoias are coming back out to roost even as the manuscript approaches the point I can re-read it to enjoy it, admittedly, but progress is fairly hopeful on the whole.Trouble is, every time I manage to put my… Continue reading Quick March
