I’m seeing a number of people on Twitter saying they don’t want to come to Mastodon because it “doesn’t have” certain features (it often does, in fact, have said features, they just haven’t looked properly) and it’s a lot of small child “but I don’t wanna put my shoes on!” energy.

#FlashFiction

Hello! Like many people, set up an account here just in case it all goes to pot on Twitter! Most likely to find me on Twitter for now sharing the #booklove.

I'm a #bookblogger reading and reviewing mostly contemporary, uplifting fiction with a bit historical fiction every now and then.

Hello! I'm a writer (yes, another one) and lover of history, books, art, animals, and all things dark and spooky. 🖤

I'm also a writing coach and a solicitor working with victims of crime.

When I've worked this place out, I'll mainly be posting about #books #writing #weirdhistory and #gothic stuff. Oh, and #cats.
