There are always those moments in the writer's life when you think you won't have any more interesting thoughts, and that you've said the last interesting thing you'll ever say. Best of all, these moments always seem to happen in the middle of the night, when you're trying to sleep.

Since it has been a minute, let's get this going around again.

I've created a server for who are looking for a little support in their journey. Created with fiction writers (including fanfic writers) over 21 in mind, this server is for those who need motivation, bulldozing through their writer's block, looking for steady kicks in the ass to get through editing, or whatever else that's preventing you from completing your WIP or hindering your progress.

Its invite only bc I don't want it to be a big server, and anyone under 18 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. So DM me for an invite. While this should be obvious, but some people are obtuse, this is a trans-friendly server.

Write two versions of the same real-life episode:
a) How it really happened to you
b) How did it supposedly happen, according to a famous novel character that's trying to gaslight you

Idea for an art prank: go into nearest Waterstones, take dust jacket off all copies off Prince Harry's book, hide copies of Guest (own novel) inside.

Successfully sell millions of copies of own book, develop rabid new fanbase quickly & easily.

I think this might be my best marketing idea ever.

Strix is now open for Fiction submissions. From now until the end of Jan I'll be peeping your short fiction. Under 1500 words pls.

Top tips: be weird, funny, ghostly/speculative or adjacent thereof. I'm in favour of landscape-based things set in Yorkshire. However, I also like to be surprised. Send now!

Edit: women writers highly encouraged to submit pls
