Speculative fiction writer and helpless reprobate. Possibly a freezing mist, possibly an amalgam of nine grubby goblins. They/he. 🏳️‍⚧️ Your friendly neighbourhood trans soyboy.

Is it "For fuck sake" or "For fuck's sake"?

It's for a work e-mail, so it's got to sound professional.

Hey look at my meat coloured kumihimo braid

Not a fan of the woolen fluff from burg/grey strands, but I'll see if I can match with sleek fibre rather than woolen...

This abandoned factory produced hand-blown hollowed glass, initially producing glass used to make petroleum lanterns. The huge contraption that dominates these photos is a ring furnace.

This location has the #codename “Lord Of The Rings”, and you can see more photos and read more about the #history here - https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/industrial/lord-of-the-rings-germany/

Lord Of The Rings, Germany

The Lord Of The Rings is a ring furnace, inside a long-abandoned glass factory. The factory closed down around 15 years ago.

If, like me, you've wanted a publication to cover #horror films from a more literary, academic standpoint, #Bloodvine is for you. If I had it like that, I'd just give them all the monies, but I don't so..

New interview with E.G. Condé just dropped! Huge thanks to the wonderful Ariel Marken Jack for asking such incisive questions which I think get to the heart of the book and what is so special about its accomplishments.

If you need to be delighted by something this morning, I present the tree goats of Morocco.

I was driving near Essaouira the first time I saw this and literally slammed on my brakes because I thought I was suddenly hallucinating. But then you learn how common it is and after a day or two it's, oh, yeah, more goats in trees.

July #writingwonders 11. What about your writing would you like to improve?

Maybe it's more a process thing, but I'd like to be able to keep momentum and not stop to finesse the edges of earlier parts rather than getting on with writing a lot of terrible things and just be done... until editing!

July #writingwonders 12. What’s the best compliment or review you’ve got about your writing?

"This is really pretty, but it scares me."

Catching up!

July #writingwonders 9. What are you good at when it comes to writing?

Finding weird ways of saying things, which can sometimes go right off the rails into being incomprehensible to anyone with sense.

July #writingwonders 10. MC POV: In a fight, what is your weapon of choice?

Aerial ice lances in combination with a floor coated in water-slicked ice. Which is decent evidence that I *do* have a sense of humour.
