Another exciting project: I'm teaching a 5-week online course at @sagetyrtle's fabulous Crow Collective this autumn!

It's all about how to use speculative metaphor to write about real world stuff, looking at examples from contemporary SFF and horror authors.

Registration just opened! Find out more and grab your place here:

I've learned so much from working with Dr Helen Edwards on her new author mindset course 'The Resilient Writer'. I've packed some of her mental health tools into my little author confidence tote & am ready to go!

The to-do list for today is readings on the art of crafting subtext, some flash fiction, and a writing excersize attempting to imitate aspects of one of the pieces.

Finally up to lesson 2 of this bad boy - that first read through was hell, but it’s supposed to be the hardest part.
