Friends, readers, randomers who came here through Google. Let’s talk jobs, writing and money. It’ll be more fun than it sounds. Last week I got a rejection from a company I really wanted to work for, not because it’s relevant to my career plans but because the job was regular hours, good shifts and relatively […]

New Spooky Story Shack Piece!
I’ve got a Christmas present for you guys! It’s a superduper Halloween story that I wrote in September! It’s illustrated by Daniele Murtas and I think they did an excellent job. If you liked it (or even if you didn’t) please leave a comment either on The Story Shack or here. I was tempted when […]
Introducing The Little Book of Indifferent Ignorance, Volume I
Yoohoo, snowflakes, this is what I was chatting about on Twitter the other day. I am very pleased and excited to share my first book-of-sorts, The Little Book of Indifferent Ignorance, Volume I! Big thank-yous to Ruby, who helped with design advice, and to tabloid-quoting racist homophobes, whose ideals informed this piece rather a lot. […]
Commissions Open for Business!
Snowflakes! So it’s time to get back in the saddle, as the saying goes, and do some w r i t i n g again! As I mentioned in last week’s stupendous audioblog, I’ve done a some commissions already so now it’s time to expand and do stuff through PayPal (it’s legit, I checked). All the […]
A Poem About Leaving School
I have graced the hallways of my school for seven entire years, roughly the equivalent of the time it takes to get to the front of a queue in the post office. Typically students bring in notebooks into which other students write farewell messages of good luck and sappy happiness. I forgot to get a […]
The Eleven O’Clock News: TV Reviews Are Funny (and so is the fact that this took ten hours to make)
This is so not-at-six-o’clock because every time I went near anything Sherlock-based online I either tried to lift everything from Sherlockology for The Webways or sat watching Benedict Cumberbatch interviews. Hardest name I’ve ever had to type. Very interesting in interview. Anyway, I had so much fun reading reviews that I decided to highlight them […]
Merry Christmas Snowflakes, Here’s a Delightful Story to Warm Your Bones
I wrote it and everything. Big thank yous to Lakshmy Mathur for the artwork and Martin who runs Story Shack for sorting out my weird formatting. Season’s greetings snowflakes! If you could tell me what you think it would be like receiving a gift from you. As opposed to for you, and let’s face it […]
“It is a long time since my last visit… I must say, your agapanthuses are flourishing.” (and by ‘agapanthuses’ I mean ‘willingness to read whatever shit I throw at you’)
And by ‘are’ I mean ‘is’. This may sound slightly unprofessional of me, but I hope you’ll forgive me when I say that my Googling skills have been diminished somewhat because I spent about two-thirds of my half term rereading Harry Potter (which is also, incidentally, why I’m trying to talk like Dumbledore): Does anyone […]
