Today, I’m writing about Lia, a #transgender ballet dancer. Lia’s entire artistic process is streamed everyday on the Network and she’s cracking under the pressure. Poor Lia ☹️
I’m reading #ApollosAngels a history of #ballet for research and it’s wonderful so far! #ScienceFiction #sciencefiction #dystopia #Writing#writer#writers

@adamgreenfield Thank you for this, I added it to my revolutionary character’s playlist 😊

I started this free online writing group because I wanted people to have a place to come where they could write to prompts and then share (or not share, also totally cool) their writing.

If you...

* Enjoy spending time with other writers in a supportive, friendly group.

Thanks again for all the lovely comments posted on my recent images.

Today's is one of my favourites from over a decade ago, at a site run by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, and is of a common kingfisher.

We watched this male fishing in the small lake for over an hour. Mostly he preferred diving from posts at the water's edge, but when he flew up into this willow tree, I made sure I got the shot.

Last night's render (my equivalent of overnight oats).

@DarkSheepArts my fantasy is you drawing the characters of my novel 😍🥰

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: Encouraging kids to be who they are is suicide prevention.

On a clear night in Kinlochleven in November, the Milky Way is visible down the loch. This shot took several attempts as the high road to the village runs to the left of this image. A 30 second exposure meant it took a bit of good timing to avoid light trails from the few cars which did venture down that night. This image was taken next to the slipway area in Kinlochleven.

Dear Space Karen,
No thanks.

I'm absolutely over the moon to be able to say I've just signed with Jo Unwin Literary Agency (represented by the wonderful Rachel, who I would tag but doesn't seem to be on here!). I've written something I think is funny and it's a constant source of amazement to me that some other people seem to agree. Hopefully I'll be able to share more soon. #writing #writingcommunity

Meanwhile at #cop27 …

Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.
